Study Finds Enterprise 2.0 Adoption a Priority

SAN FRANCISCO, June 23 /PRNewswire/ -- TechWeb today announced the launch of Enterprise 2.0 Conference in San Francisco, which will take place November 2-5, 2009 in the Moscone North Convention Center. The expansion of this event series to the West Coast demonstrates the strength of the Enterprise 2.0 Conference as the leading event for companies looking to transform their business through collaboration, social computing and the adoption of Web 2.0 tools and technologies. The call for papers is now open and event registration will open in July. For more information visit the San Francisco section at: http://www.e2conf.com/.

The transition to Enterprise 2.0 offers great competitive advantage to organizations that embrace the new tools and business cultures. An Enterprise 2.0 Adoption Survey conducted in May 2009 by TechWeb supports the growing attention organizations are placing on Enterprise 2.0 with the following results:

  • Respondents reported that organizations will spend more on Enterprise 2.0 technologies than they did in 2008
  • 65% of the survey respondents are optimistic about 2009 spending on Enterprise 2.0 technologies (compared to 2008)
  • Nearly 40% of respondents said that corporate business executives were driving the use of Enterprise 2.0 tools within organizations

"Demand for Enterprise 2.0 tools and strategies are growing as businesses are pushed to do more with less," said Steve Wylie, General Manager, Enterprise 2.0 Conference. "Launching Enterprise 2.0 Conference San Francisco allows us to continue the conversation year-round and reach a broader audience of business and IT leaders driving organizational change."

Enterprise 2.0 Conference in San Francisco will carry on the successful event series, featuring a multi-track conference, visionary keynotes, customer case studies, an Expo Pavilion presenting the latest tools and technologies of Enterprise 2.0, a Launch Pad program featuring innovative companies changing today's enterprise landscape, an unconference where attendees drive the content and conversation, and many networking opportunities.

In addition to San Francisco in November, the Enterprise 2.0 Conference will return to Boston, June 21-24, 2010 and is moving to the Hynes Convention Center.
