New Terminology: Office 2.0
What’s Office 2.0? Heard recently I decided to do a little research and see how well this concept converged with Workflow Collaboration. Since the Office 2.0 Conference was constructed using Online Collaboration Tools, it made sense to list it here as a case study for your potential Workflow Collaboration.
Definition quoted from Gilbane Group Blog: Office 2.0:
What is “Office 2.0″? As far as I could tell the consensus in the opening panel “The Future of Work” (and in other sessions) was that it referred to any office-in-the-cloud tools, including but not limited to replications of Microsoft Office.
I would say “Office 2.0″ is differentiated from “Web 2.0″ by having mainly a business focus, and is differentiated from “Enterprise 2.0″, at least in terms of this event, by being more about the technology than the effects of its deployment on enterprise practices.
Office 2.0 Early Adopter’s Checklist
If you’re interested in this then review some of the tools that they’re talking about. This gives you a background on a buzzword that may or may not take off but is being bandied around the Workflow Collaboration universe.
Of the apps, listed, I adopted and currently use WordPress and LinkedIn. I’ve used Salesforce and Constant Contact. I like how they described the set up of the GMail accounts using their own domains. The rest I have yet to check out.
More from Gilbane Group Blog: Office 2.0:
There was some gentle push and pull between Microsoft and Google on the relative importance IT/workflow/regulations versus end-user/real-time-collaboration.When pushed on what they would be adding to future work environments, both Microsoft and SAP stressed the importance of business social networks.
Social Networking Trend Analysis - Dollar Wings Night at Aussie Pub Yields Ka-Ching!
Social networking is how I’ve connected with employment since 1997. I can trace the contracts and job routes I’ve taken, with about 75% through personal reference. Seeing as resume blanketing tends to yield a lot of return calls but little actual movement, I figured I was on the right track.
Glad I never made a fool of myself during Dollar Wings Night at the Australian Pub in Pacific Beach, San Diego. Some of those people are who I still get referrals from seven and eight years later.
