I just got back from keynoting a very stimulating Kofax conference in Barcelona. 500+ people and an awful lot of energy in the room. Plus it didn't hurt that the event was in Barcelona, which is just a terrific city.
One of the slides I used seemed to attract a fair amount of attention, so I include it here. I call it my "history of Enterprise IT in one slide" slide so I thought I would share it with my blog readers.
Keep your eyes open for a white paper we'll be releasing next week -- likely on Tuesday. It's called Systems of Engagement and the Future of Enterprise IT and looks closely at the challenge of managing information systems that are much more distributed, informal, and ubiquitous than anything that has been known previously. The current world of transactionally centric content management is not going way -- in fact it is bigger and more robust than ever -- but organizations need to start thinking about how they extend their thinking about governance and taxonomy and compliance and control into this new world.
In the white paper we will outline three key sets of questions related to the incorporation of social technologies in the workplace that organizations need to address...
- How do our concepts of control and governance need to change to deal with the new world of systems of engagement?
- How will the core value chains within our organizations — innovating, designing, procuring, marketing, selling, servicing, and governing — be impacted by social business systems?
- In a world of tight resources, how do we pay for these new systems and still support our legacy systems?
Cheers.
