I like the fact that you look at Enterprise 2.0 not only as a function of tools but also a function of philosophy. Too many people look at technology as the be all end all. I read a blog just recently which defined Saas as 'outsourcing' of business functions. Saas tools i think are more about 'integration' as opposed to outsourcing. The 2 words have a uniquely different mindset and it then reflects in a different attitude. Here's an example that i quoted on the other blog. "I disagree with your definition of Saas - i dont think Saas is only outsourcing - its also about using software tools as a service to say boost productivity or increase control. For example i use a project management tool called <a href="http://www.deskaway.com/" rel="nofollow"> Deskaway </a> - it helps me manage tasks, get an idea of where the business is headed by analyzing micro projects (i own a services & media company so that's essential) - i also get to share material and content with my team. In addition - now DA will allow me to systemize my processes by replicating them - so its process management as well." Im not saying that im at the top of the enterprise 2.0 ladder but your post almost guides me using a path. I hope my philosophy of integration is correct - it seems so after reading ur post.
