Enterprises continue to struggle with cost justifying investments in collaborative technologies such as social networking and unified communications. This is leading to the development of a new paradigm of integration of business applications and processes with communications and collaboration capabilities, enabling enterprises to create use cases that enhance business processes and solve business challenges. A new class of application platform provides gateway services, providing web services and application programming interfaces to communication and collaboration system. During this session we’ll discuss the rise of communication enabled business processes and how enterprises can take advantage of these capabilities to improve the agility and responsiveness of their organization.

Top 10 Design Principles for Integrating Web 2.0 in Enterprise Apps
Dustin Beltram, Archietct, User Experience, Oracle Corporation
Thursday, June 12 at 8:30 am (Enterprise Software Track)
There are lots of vendors and tools now available to support Enterprise 2.0. But the complexity of enterprise applications, concerns about security, and the expectations of enterprise users (and their managers), dictate that collaborative and social networking tools need to be tailored for the enterprise environment. For example, typical enterprise users are acutely aware of the corporate hierarchy, and the UI should provide cues to inform and encourage them to collaborate with colleagues across departments. Based on the findings of our own research, we will present ten design principles for integrating Web 2.0 technologies into enterprise applications.
