Enterprise 2.0: The evolution of collaboration in your business

Is “Web 2.0” just another term that will disappear in another 12 months or is it here to stay? The race to develop an effective collaborative working environment is fast becoming a key business objective for companies across the globe. An efficient way to save time and money, introducing applications similar to those dubbed “Web 2.0” found on the external web can be a quick and easy way to promote knowledge-sharing and internal communication.

When funding is hard to come by, it is vital that you choose the systems that will prove to be a solution to any existing issue in your business. Identifying whether these applications will help or hinder your processes can be difficult to assess so attend Ark Group’s Enterprise 2.0: The evolution of collaboration in your business to gain your peers’ insights into investigating the potential pitfalls and benefits of social media.

During the course of the two days, gain a real understanding of what social software can do for your business and pose questions to the panel on what “Web 2.0” is and what it can do for you internally. Also benefit from key knowledge and insight, highlights include:
