ZDNet : Testdrive: Cisco’s TelePresence hi-def video conferencing system

By David Berlind
June 20, 2007

Yesterday, while at CMP’s Enterprise 2.0 conference on Boston’s waterfront, not only did I have the opportunity to interview Cisco’s senior vice president of emerging technology Marthin De Beer about Cisco’s TelePresence system, I was able to conduct the interview over a TelePresence connection. In the Demo Pavilion at Enterprise 2.0, Cisco had a substantial “booth” (if you can call it that) that was architected around two TelePresence “small room” systems (there’s also a big room version), each in a separate room, each capable of dialing up the other.

By David Berlind

I’m still here at the Enterprise 2.0 Conference in Boston doing some interviews (we just got done taping one with SpikeSource CEO Kim Polese and it will go up soon). But, in between interviews, I’m scanning my RSS feeds and noticed that both News.com and eWeek have exactly the same headline: Microsoft flip-flops on Vista virtualization (News.com version, eWeek version).

So now that I have left the church, walked out and declared my apostasy while throwing up my arms, what will I do? Where will I find meaning? The passing of Enterprise 2.0 has been redeeming for me. I can now set out, with Pablo and Rocinante by my side, to tell this story.

By Michael Sampson
June 20, 2007

The second session of my day is the 90% People, 10% Technology moderated panel with Jessica Lipnack from NetAge, Inc.. In 1995, Jessica and Jeff started a book on Virtual Teams, with interviews with 75 executives around the world ... when asked how to get virtual teams work, almost to a person they said "90% people, 10% technology". (Aside: I wonder whether it has anything to do with this book coming out the year before, which includes the phrase "95% people, 5% technology")

Well here we are after a great lunch, and mini-demo booth hall. It's time for LaunchPad 2007, where four new companies are announcing either themselves or a new product. They have 6 minutes each to talk about what they're doing, and then there are two analysts to comment on their immediate and unfiltered reaction. I was the moderator ... here's the notes I took during the presentation.

Intelligent Enterprise: David-and-Goliath Battle Shapes Up in Enterprise 2.0 Technology

By Doug Henschen
June 20, 2007

Will incumbent IT vendors prevail by adding social networking functionality to existing platforms, or will Web 2.0 innovators add ID management and security features and take the business world by storm? That question, delivered as part of a text-messaging poll, was put to the nearly 1,000 attendees at this week's Enterprise 2.0 conference in Boston. The response was fairly evenly split, with 56 percent favoring the establishment and 44 percent believing pioneers will displace existing technologies.

Information Week : IBM Looks To Help Companies Adopt Web 2.0

By Sharon Gaudin
June 20, 2007

IBM is jumping into the Enterprise 2.0 realm, launching an initiative aimed at helping companies bring Web 2.0 technologies into the workplace. "There are two worlds today," said Anant Jhingran, chief technology officer for IBM's Information Management Software Division. "Either companies can say IT will supply everything or IT can say we will enable you to innovate. Instead of putting their foot down and saying they will not allow it, they can accept it and focus on deliverability, security and manageability."

By Leonor Ciarlone
June 20, 2007

I was only able to make it into the Enterprise 2.0 conference in Boston yesterday. You can still get a demo pass for today. But I was thrilled to hear analyst, researchers, case study presenters, and yes, even vendors, drill one of my favorite phrases: "people, processes, and technology make it possible" and hope the mantra continues today.

ZD Net : Tragedy: Commercial developer reports 35% of coding time spent on IE/FireFox incompatibilities

By David Berlind
June 20, 2007

Asynchronous Javascript and XML programming — otherwise known as AJAX — may be bringing an entire new level of interactivity to today’s Web applications (often bringing otherwise lifeless user interfaces to life). But it’s also apparently wreaking havoc on developer productivity. While at the Enterprise 2.0 conference today, I interviewed Tim Hamilton who heads up business development for OpenTeams (see my last post on what they do) and after the interview was over, we ended up talking about how well the OpenTeams UI supports both FireFox and IE and it was like a dark cloud suddenly flew overhead.

ZDNet multimedia wingman Matt Conner and I are at CMP’s Enterprise 2.0 conference today and tomorrow looking for interesting video opportunities. So far, the lineup is shaping up pretty nicely. Today, I interviewed Cisco’s senior veep of emerging technologies Marthin De Beer about the company’s claims to have revolutionized the videoconferencing business with its TelePresence solution. As you’ll see in the video coming up (later today or tomorrow), not only did we talk about TelePresence, we used it to tape the interview (DeBeers was in one room, I was in another, and we each had our own TelePresence setups).

There's power available at multiple places in the conference rooms, and the wireless network is always available. And it's fast. Well done to the conference people who've had to make this work ... you've made this attendee very happy.

By Mary Jo Foley

Web 2.0 means different things to different people. To Microsoft’s Office team, Web 2.0 does not mean a Web-centric version of Microsoft Office, a la Google Apps. It does mean add-ons to SharePoint Server, Microsoft’s back-end bundle of server applications (Or Microsoft’s “social computing platform,” as Microsoft also seemingly is referring to SharePoint these days.

In his presentation, he looked at the changes in the last year. How are we doing with awareness? Since the term was coined a little over a year ago, it has spread rapidly, finding it’s way into mainstream media and conferences like this.

First I met with a vendor who is still in stealth-mode, and he told me a bit about their work. I look forward to writing more when I can. Then I had 20 or so minutes with the Managing Director of a collaboration consultancy, comparing notes on how we each work and what type of work we each do.

Since these are all product companies, I expect that this might be a bit less compelling than the previous panel, which was primarily focused on two Enterprise 2.0 end-user organizations.

Enterprise 2.0 is a radical change in the way businesses operate and is as much about the people, the culture and the processes as it is about the technology, tools and platforms.

So, Enterprise 2.0 is turning out to be one of those sorts of conferences where many of the presentations are just product pitches, poorly disguised as "keynotes". I always thing of keynotes as those presentations that are given by really amazing thinkers, people who can open your eyes to something new, some new way of thinking about the world. What I don't think of is vendors yapping on about their tools, obscuring everything with impenetrable jargon, and attempting to lead the audience by the nose towards their salesmen.
