mashup* Event - 17th July - Enterprise 2.0
Theme: Enterprise 2.0
The focus of this mashup* Event will be Enterprise 2.0 and will be in association with BT.
“Enterprise 2.0 is the use of emergent social software platforms within companies, or between companies and their partners or customers.”; Prof. Andrew McAfee HBS
Social software enables people to rendezvous, connect or collaborate through computer-mediated communication and to form online communities. (Wikipedia's definition).
Platforms are digital environments in which contributions and interactions are globally visible and persistent over time.
Emergent means that the software is freeform, and that it contains mechanisms to let the patterns and structure inherent in people's interactions become visible over time.
This mashup* Event will focus on the status of Enterprise 2.0 thinking, where thought leaders are up to and we are sure will stray into the opportunity of effecting and delivering corporate social responsibility and “green” IT.

Demo Companies: IBM® Mashup Center is designed to provide an easy to use business mashup solution, supporting line of business assembly of dynamic situational applications - with the management, security, and governance capabilities IT requires. With this lightweight mashup environment, organizations can unlock and transform enterprise, Web, personal and departmental information into consumable or "mashable" assets, including information feeds and widgets. These assets can then be dynamically assembled, at-the-glass, into new applications that address daily business challenges. With IBM Mashup Center, organizations can reduce their application backlog and improve productivity by empowering line of business, self-service application development. Today we will provide a demonstration of the use of IBM Mashup Centre to provide decision-support tools for expert workers, and of the CICS Web 2.0 SupportPac to expose data and functions from operational systems using ATOM feeds. In the scenario, an insurance underwriter assesses risks and determines peril ratings for commercial properties, using a combination of enterprise data, mapping and public information feeds.
