Categorised under: Enterprise 2.0, Intranets
Denis Zenkin discusses the confusion between intranets and enterprise 2.0. To quote:
Intranet is basically a practical tool that creates a unified workplace for an organization supplying a number of benefits. In my opinion, the list of must-have features include collaboration, communications and knowledge base.
I agree with Denis on this one. Staff don’t need yet another tool for collaboration or enterprise 2.0. Instead, we should be bringing things together into a increasingly powerful intranet, combining information, communication, collaboration and tools.
