SAP Network Wiki

SAP Network Wiki: We've been twittering about Social Realism" and how Internet is copying reality and real-life events. This doesn't mean that Internet is lifeless.

The Pitch

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability have made it into many headlines. CSR and sustainability are definitely global trends today. Some companies are already reporting on it, and there are new indicators that certainly will be in the annual reports of almost every public company in the coming years. To help define new indicators for our company, we decided to integrate you into this process from the very beginning. We believe in a completely transparent community-based approach, and this is one way that you can help SAP and the BPX/SDN community in our efforts to develop indicators specific to a software vendor in the high-tech industry.

The Approach

We have added some initial content to this wiki to get the collaboration started. We would like you to provide additional content with your perspective, your priotization, and your definition of various indicators. Tell us what indicators SAP should use to measure its success and report on its status in different areas. For example, how could SAP contribute to the environment indicators? How does a company car policy contribute to the carbon footprint of a company? What could SAP do to limit CO2 emissions?"

Move towards Web 2.0

Start - a few years ago

Aberdeen was one of my first entrepreneurial international operations destinations.

I wrote this in my Wiki over a year ago.

Over the last two years or so we have been busy redesigning some the web based information about our services. There have been a few good books about social collaboration, networking, Web 2.0 and corporate blogging. There have been big events and conferences all over the US and a couple good ones in Europe about it too. Here we try to collect things we find useful for us and our clients on Internet.

• It is not possible at this point for any business structure small and big one - not to have a blog.

• Each business entity has to be known and easy-to-be found on Internet.

• Each company has to have a place where customers can say a few words about that company or the competitors, the products or services or even more - what more is needed.

• We suspected that making graphical changes might actually increase conversions and so far this is very much the case.

• We found that by making some small but trendy content changes improved visitor confidence enough to really effect our earnings.

• Simplicity, doing less, semantics and standards are all keywords being flung around the web-two-o-sphere.

» CIO Sessions: BT’s JP Rangaswami | Between the Lines | ZDNet.com: "Rangaswami is also a strong advocate of Web 2.0 technologies, with significant internal use of blogs, wikis and instant messaging.

He is also an advocate for using Facebook, in contrast to many of his peers who have taken a different approach to the social network upstart, banning it as non-productive use of company time and too far outside the compliance boundaries of corporate information systems."

Blogien opetuskäyttö: Wikispaces now has Widgets!: "You can now put a video, calendar, spreadsheet, poll, chat room, slideshow, map, or any other tool, gadget, or plugin on your Wikispace. You want to put that YouTube video on lunar eclipses directly on your wiki or share your Google calendar? You can. To add a Widget, click on the Widget button on our toolbar (it looks like a little TV) which leads you to a handy list of widgets that you can use, along with helpful instructions where necessary."

Helge: Good to know. I haven't used my own wikispaces for a while. Need to do some updates.

Wikinomics

A deep change has happened on the Web. Collaboration of people around the world has become possible. When you say the word wiki some people at corporate level are ready to run and hide, but there is no need to be scared. Now we, you, us can plug into new platforms and cooperate with people we haven't seen ever befor. We may plug into surging communities and co-create business models, tools, products and services. This is something that should be embraced and loved. We don't need to be afraid about this progress. More and more R and D will happpen online with outsiders.

* There is a paradigm shift
* Leaders in the industries are the last one to adopt change
* Crisis of leadership is changing the business landscape fundamentally
* There is an emerging open market for uniquely qualified minds

This is a new mode of production. Wiki does now even connect with economics. There is the biggest change of the century. Hundreds or millions of people can come together and create new products, services. Social networking is becoming the new mode of production.

Google and Jotspot

JotSpot: New foundation for Google Office?

Google, it seems, is buying rather than building a collaborative applications platform, first with Blogger, Writely and now with JotSpot -- and more to come. This can't be good for Zoho, ThinkFree and other cloud-based Office suites. It is, as David Berlind notes, a timely answer to the recent Microsoft/Socialtext collaboration.

I've been testing several wiki platforms. Jotspot is one of them. The Google move does please me while I can do more things in one environment.

1. Jotspot Wiki
2. GoogleTalk
3. Gmail Google Mail
4. Blogger blogplatforms
5. Writely for wordprocessin
6. Google Calendar
7. Google Maps
8. Google Earth
9. Google Spreadsheets

This is a very interesting development from my point of view. Social Collaboration is becoming easier than ever before and all this can happen on a global scale.
