Digital Collaboration in the enterprise

Folks: Today I read an amazing whitepaper written by the Ashish Kumar, CTO, Avanade on
"Digital Collaboration in the enterprise".

In this paper, Ashish talks about three areas where Avanade sees the most opportunity to create efficiency and productivity breakthroughs in how people work with information and with each other across a global enterprise.

3 Areas described in the paper are:
First, the “tagging” of people, content and physical assets with context
information (semantic keywords, presence, location, business processes et
cetera) as a mechanism to automate the discovery and usage of information and
expertise.
Second, enabling and fostering the development of user-driven content and
communities to maximize employee contributions and connection to the
organization. Transforming ideas in people’s heads and laptops into broadly used
organizational assets and harnessing the power of communities as proven by the
Internet.
Third, connecting the world of the knowledge worker with the operational view of
the enterprise and with relevant external information—i.e., integrating familiar,
easy-to-use spreadsheets, email, and virtual workspaces with information from
corporate systems like ERP/CRM and third-party services—empowering
employees with data and information that is critical to decision making but
typically not easily accessed or used in enterprises today.

Thanks for the post. The article that has written by the CTO of avanade has explained the digital collaboration in an organization. When I have noticed the author designation and their company I remember only erp solutions. In the current business world, every business people knows the importance of erp solutions for an enterprise. Last year when my company was about the implement erp solutions especially mobility solutions we were reviewed a solution provider called karya technologies (http://www.karyatech.com) and I feel they are giving enterprise solutions especially with mobility solutions in a professional way. I would like to share that so I shared. I would like to get suggestions / experience from our blog readers so we can get knowledge.
