  • The difference this time around: In the mid-90s those productivity gains were based on big enterprise resource planning rollouts that could wreck a company. Today, Chambers is talking implementations of Web 2.0 tools and collaboration.

    • And there’s a payoff. Chambers said that collaboration tools and Cisco’s Telepresence technology saved the company $150 million a year in travel expenses.
    • “For the first time collaborative IT will be so intertwined with the business strategy you won’t know the difference between the two,” he said.
    • Chambers noted cloud computing will become a mesh of interconnected networks. Cloud computing “is just another evolution of the Internet.” On software as a service, Cisco said WebEx use internally is up 2,500 percent with discussion forums and blogging has also increased dramatically

  • “You have to think about your employees as your most important and valuable asset.”

    Business analytics / business intelligence leader SAS is an incredible success story that owes its success to many factors, not the least of which is its employees:

    • Employee tools at SAS:

      • SAS Wide Web (intranet in multiple languages)
      • Using SharePoint 2007 (MOSS)
      • Employee Blogs
      • Employee Wikis
      • SAS Video portal (executive updates, podcasts, webcasts, town hall meetings)
      • Two sound stages at SAS working every day

    • Four Critical Dimensions (Insight into change):
      1- Human Capital
      2- Knowledge Processes
      3- Culture
      4- Infrastructure
    • What’s next?

      • “The data explosion – what are its sources and how can organizations cope?”
      • “Is your organization ready for Generation Y?”
      • “How are companies leveraging unstructured data?”
      • “Is it technology or attitude?”
      • “Web 3.0?” (speed and latency independent of the platform)

  • La crise offre la possibilité d’apporter, plus que jamais, votre aide à ceux qui risquent de subir ses effets de plein fouet. Le Réseau va sans doute avoir besoin de vous. Soyez présent car ce dernier n’oublie pas et il se souviendra de ce que vous avez fait pour lui.

  • E-mail overload is the leading cause of preventable productivity loss in organizations today. Basex Research recently estimated that businesses lose $650 billion annually in productivity due to unnecessary e-mail interruptions. And the average number of corporate e-mails sent and received per person per day are expected to reach over 228 by 2010.

    The fundamental problem of this otherwise great technology is largely behavioral, and new practices and technologies are arising to solve it.

    • A major contributor to e-mail overload is broken business processes.
      When an environment changes, business processes fail to adapt, and this
      causes exceptions.
