IntelliEnterprise > Enterprise 2.0

Enterprise 2.0 Collaboration

Intranets are becoming more and more mission critical because of their ability to unify the voice of the organization and, with Enterprise 2.0 technologies, to embrace the voice of the users.

Enterprise 2.0 is the term for the technologies and business practices that liberate the workforce from the constraints of legacy communication and productivity tools like email. It provides business managers with access to the right information at the right time through a web of interconnected applications, services and devices. Enterprise 2.0 makes the collective intelligence of an organization accessible and useful, which translates into a huge competitive advantage through increased innovation, productivity and agility.

IntelliEnterprise encompasses a number of Enterprise 2.0 features that embrace the values of openness, distributed organization structure, knowledge transparence, user-driven flow of information and simple management by users. This enables a simple, agile and contextual environment for users to collaborate, create and share important information in a timely fashion. This collaboration can extend across local or distributed workforces, even reaching networks of customers and partners. Providing this easy, yet rich platform benefits the company, the employees and the customers alike.

With virtual meeting places it’s easy for people to connect to share ideas, store project-specific information, establish procedures, review and discuss documents and deliverables, resolve issues, make decisions, and get work done.

The Enterprise 2.0 module includes Wikis, Blogs, Shared Workgroup Sites, Tagging, User Profiles, DiscussionForums, Content Ratings, User Feedback and Instant Massaging. These tools help create an open, environment, that encourages user participation and empowers all employees to help create and organize the information they need.

Wikis A Wiki is a set of web pages about a common subject, with non-linear navigational structures. Wikis are frequently used to build online dictionaries (e.g. a Acronym Wiki) or to collaborate on highly dynamic information (e.g. a Knowledge Base). The Wiki Portlet extends the regular HTML Editor with an automatic linking of keywords by just placing them in double brackets. Such a link may even refer to a not yet existing topic. Such links are shown in red inviting other users to add the still missing information.
Blog A blog is a website where entries are written in chronological order and displayed in reverse chronological order. Intranet Blogs are frequently used by managers to communicate events and personal views to the whole organization. Blogs are also commonly used by project teams and subject matter experts to chronicle and comment the process of their activities. The Blog Portlet is based on the adenin CMS. This ensures that blog posts could be found in the global search, rating/comments could be used, blog posts could appear on News Portlets and in notification eMails, and that access to blogs could is controlled by the permissions of the user.
Video (“Corporate YouTube”) Intranet goes multimedia. The idea? Video is more powerful than the written word. Video Streaming is frequently used for training, introduction to new marketing campaigns, offering wider access to important meetings, and commentary from executives on the intranet. The Video Streaming component is, like YouTube, based on the Flash Video (.flv files). Because the Flash Video Player runs as a browser plug-in, it is possible to view the video within a web browser without any client-side software requirements besides a web browser with a current Flash plug-in.
Employee Directory The Employee Directory helps unlock the value of corporate directory data, providing employees and managers alike the ability to quickly and easily find, and get in touch with, people throughout the organization. The Directory takes into account that employees don't always know the name of the person they need to talk to; often they know only skills, position or location.
Interactive OrgChart Organizational charts are the best way to visualize and understand the workforce. The OrgChart Portlet uses the “Reports to” field of the adenin employee directory or the user information stored in ActiveDirectory to automatically create interactive OrgCharts. There's no need to create, publish and update charts each time the organizational structure changes as the OrgCharts portlet shows always up-to-date information. The adenin Workflow engine relies heavily on an accurate organization hierarchy being set up and maintained. The OrgChart portlet allows to view this hierarchical data in a clear, graphical format, that makes it easy to see any gaps or inaccuracies.
Tag Cloud Portlet A tag cloud is a set of related tags with corresponding usage frequency. Tags are usually single words and are typically listed alphabetically, and the importance of a tag is shown with font size. Tag clouds are very common from Web 2.0 sites like Flickr or del.icio.us.
User Comments and Ratings Star ratings and user comments have long been found on public websites — from Amazon.com to weblogs — but they are much more useful on intranets, where they’re from colleagues instead of anonymous or unknown readers. This feature allows readers to communicate with both other users and the information publishers. This feedback possibility and the inherent two way communication capabilities are characteristic features of an Enterprise 2.0 Intranet.
Discussions The Discussions application allows quick, online discussions. + threaded Discussions + optional email notifications
Discussions Portlet This portlet shows the last post of an online discussion.
Role Member Portlet This Portlet displays all members of a role, allowing the easy location of subject matter experts (e.g. who is responsible for the content of a category/site, or who are the members of a project team).
My Groups Portlet The My Workgroups Portlet lists all workgoups in which a user is already a member or in which the role memberships allow the user to request membership for a workgroup.
Group Administration Portlet The Group Administration Portlet is used by workgroup administrators to manage their workgroups. The Portlet allows acceptance or rejection of membership requests, removal of existing users, invitation of new users, and changing the properties of the workgroup.
