we have seen over the past few years the rise of collaborative activities that seem to drive a greater and faster level of innovation. the new web 2.0 technologies have enabled us to work together with people whom we've never met, but can leverage on each others' strengths resulting in faster development of new ideas and solutions.

but this seems to only happen over the internet/web. traditional organisations tend to fall behind in all of these new ideas. so how do traditional organisations and enterprises adapt to these trends and unlock the potential of their people?

http://socialsoftwarematrix.org/ is a site that evaluates social networking solutions for enterprises. it's introduction section says:

This website is indented to serve as an introduction to Social Software for enterprises.

The focus of the page will be on a comparison of the performance of different Social Software products in a set of defined business use cases. In addition the page will assess the chosen Social Software with respect to technological and business key factors for an enterprise implementation.

The results presented on socialsoftwarematrix.org are based on an internal evaluation of selected Social Software by the T-Systems MMS Consulting-Enterprise 2.0 team. We tried to be as objective as possible but we do not lay claim to final truth. Any feedback and discussion, on this page or on our blog http://www.besser20.de/ is highly appreciated.

On socialsoftwarematrix.org visitors will get an idea bout how Social Software can be used in a company as well as a comparative overview about Social Software products. Seeing the strength and weaknesses of a product in different use cases and the ability to compare multiple products for a single use-case can help a company to find the right Social Software for its specific needs.

The release of the Social Software Matrix is planned for the end of October. To shorten the waiting time and to give an introduction to Enterprise 2.0 we present to you our three parted presentation. Subscribe our newsletter to be informed when socialsoftwarematrix.org will be released.

there is also a set of presentations that give us a useful insight into enterprise 2.0:
