Enterprise 2.0
is the term we have talked about in the past in relationship to LongJump. Generally speaking, Enterprise 2.0 is a term used to describe the “technologies and business practices that liberate the workforce from the constraints of legacy communication and productivity tools like email”. The LongJump offering is a powerful Enterprise 2.0 enabler and we have been invite to speak on the subject in the last (most recently at at the Enterprise 2.0 Conference in Boston, MA).
