Did Open Text Social Media just bloom before Google Wave?
Something big is cooking and you'll be seeing it live from the Enterprise 2.0 Conference in Boston if you're lucky enough to be there. At the recent Content Days in Australia, I had the pleasure of showing off a brand new product that put a fresh face to collaboration. It was mentioned in the press more than a few times, especially KMWorld. The crowd was awed by the novel concept of collaborating via streams of information, grouped together by the teams communications such as email, blog posts, documents and wikis. Completely browser based, these conversations and status updates happen in real time as threads of discussions weave seamlessly in this new paradigm of collaboration. So what was this new magical product? Google Wave, you say? No, in fact, it was our about to launch OpenText social media initiative aimed at making enterprises bloom. Imitation is the highest form of flattery we suppose. See for yourself at http://wave.google.com/. Open Text Social Media will be generally available in July, 2009.
