Web 2.0 in the Enterprise - A TiE SIG Software event - Feb 16th @6PM - Santa Clara, CA

I have been invited by the Tie SIG Software group to lead a discussion on the current adoption of Web 2.0 technology in the enterprise, and how they might influence the future of enterprise systems. It is indeed an interesting topic, for which I will be joined by Forrester's Charlene Li, SocialText's Ross Mayfield, and SAP's Jeff Nolan. As usual I plan for this event to be interactive, and hope that we'll have a great interaction with the audience.

The description and registration information of this event can be found on the TiE website. It will take place at the TiE Conference Center, Suite #108, 2903 Bunker Hill Lane, Santa Clara.

I am also planning to attend another TiE event on Tuesday 12/31, that should be quite interesting: “How to build a successful web company?”. This time Charlene will be in the moderator seat, and her panel will include Tickle's Jim Currier, SimplyHired's Gautam Godhwami and Shasta Ventures' Tod Francis.

In light of your Web 2.0 in the Enterprise discussion, I thought you might some relevance to this post on web 2.0 vs. traditional enterprise sales & marketing. http://marketvelocity.blogspot.com/2005/12/what-does-vinod-khosla-know-about-web.html
It draws on insights from Mark Leslie who is one of the lesser known of the rare breed of entrepreneur who has taken a software company from $0 to over $1B in revenue (Veritas). You know he's on to something when Vinod Khosla regularly quotes him.

How far can web 2.0 go? Are there limits to the ad-supported product model? Geoffry Moore recently wrote an interesting article on the abilitty to monetize any form of media attracting media. I wonder what happens when don't have enough commerical products to pay for ad-supported products. Where is the line of equilibrium? I've written my thoughts here:

and I'd love to hear what others think.
