Business take-up of Enterprise 2.0 has doubled in the last year |
Survey suggests dramatic increase in use of wikis, blogs, forums and social networks.
In a survey conducted with 789 individuals, AIIM found that more than 50 per cent of knowledge workers consider Enterprise 2.0 to be “important” or “very important” to their business goals and success. Only 17 per cent admitted that they have no idea what it is, compared to 40 per cent at the start of 2008.
A quarter of organisations are rolling out Enterprise 2.0 tools across all departments, up from 12 per cent in the previous survey.
The primary drive for implementation is coming from users rather than management, and IT staff are the leaders for adoption.
Respondents projected an increased spend on Enterprise 2.0 products over the next 12 months, and are looking to their ECM suite providers as the most likely source of integrated infrastructure platforms.
Doug Miles, UK managing director of AIIM Europe, commented: “This new survey confirms that the competitive edge set by the early adopters is robust, and that it is now time for the early majority to get on board. Collaboration platforms in particular are being driven by knowledge sharing initiatives, as well as faster project completions, savings in travel costs, and green policies.”
The AIIM research report is entitled 'Collaboration and Enterprise 2.0: work meets play or the future of business?' Part of the AIIM Industry Watch series, the report is free to download from the AIIM website. It is underwritten by Allyis, Ektron, EMC Corporation and Oracle.
