When it comes to Enterprise Collaboration, many organisations remain 'land-locked'; restricted by the architectures, deployment models, and functionality of solutions that were conceived in another age - an age when there was no Web 2.0, no mobile Internet, no impending pandemic, and no economic crisis. Of those organisations that are trying to move ahead in the 'new world of work', many IT departments are struggling to keep pace with the rapidly-changing world of information worker solutions and with the consumerisation of collaboration technologies in particular. Web-native collaboration solutions are continuing to grow in popularity amongst the twenty-something 'net-generation', and these Internet-born offerings are now starting to cross over into the world of enterprise IT. The challenge for IT managers is to reap the benefit of the best aspects of these new tools, whilst avoiding the pitfalls that can arise from ignoring these possibilities altogether. Moreover, this must be achieved against a backdrop of shrinking IT budgets and increased expectancy.
