Generated services by employees in Enterprise 2.0 environments

Web 2.0 and IT principles and tools are at the base of the outstanding and prodigious success of the various social network. While many are led to think that they can just support amusement and entertainment and that, for this reasons, they could disturb employees from their daily duties, introduce into the enterprise’s firewall illegal and unauthorized content, disclose company IPRs, twist the company’s mission and message, the potential of their use in Enterprise 2.0 environments can be enormous too, boosting innovation and creativity and spreading company culture and knowledge as never before within the Large Corporates and Companies. To this end, the COIN project is developing advanced EI and EC services which can be rightly used to create new knowledge and innovation platforms within the Enterprise 2.0 world.
The objective of this task is to study the current State-of-the-art of Enterprise 2.0 tools and implementation and to map it against the current development status of the COIN project.
The idea is that the COIN service platform can be utilised to support the use of Enterprise 2.0 service by employees and that dedicated requirements and implementation suggestion have to be collected to facilitate such new use scenario.Interest in COIN
