Adoption of Enterprise 2.0/N.0 == More API Traffic
-------------------------------------------------------------

Enterprise 2.0 as an idea was floated as an idea late as 2007 and my interest in Enterprise 2.0/N.0 stems only from the product engineering perspective and the new infrastructual requirements it poses.

What is my version of Enterprise 2.0 ( i can see you guys rolling your eyes but give me a hearing first...)

For me the definition of "Enterprise 2.0 is the successful adaption of social software platforms within companies, or between companies and their partners or customers". I have to say "successful adaption" because i do not think the enterprise will adapt the web 20 completely, Enterprises will never give up the control but they would like to adapt the practices of web 20 with regards to collaboration & self service and agility and adapt them into the enterprise.

How will they get manifested within the Enterprise:

I would like to see "Boeing" build its next generation "Partner Management/Tracking Platform" using mashups and social software paradigms , the idea of having the "part tracking" portlet implemented as a mashup and exposed as a widget of choice on someone's iphone, blackberry which is very salivating thought.

With Google announcing SDC and vendors providing support means only one thing i.e. we are going to see more api traffic coming from the enterprise and thats a very good thing.


End Result
more APIs /more enterprise data getting exposed/ more traffic.... how are you going to manage this ?
