Presented by Rene Bonvanie (Serena ), Christopher Keene (WaveMaker Software). Not many concepts/ technologies have received the kind of hype that Web 2.0 has been subjected to. Observers have even gone ahead and called Web 2.0 the SOA of the Internet. Not only does this hype show no signs of abating but today companies from Intel to Wells Fargo are figuring out how they can create an enterprise that collaborates, innovates freely and “breathes.â€

Interesting talk, and I agree with Craig : not really in phase with what I understood by the session title, by two dynamic gentlemen, especially Chris Keene. Being from a fairly big enterprise (+16K employees) and being from IT, I'm still looking for ways to introduce or to find some innovative - but usefull - ways to introduce Web 2.0 in my organization (seems like people are too busy to collaborate!!!) and I didn't find answers (or hints) there. When Chris ask the audience what was the most important database in the world and answered Google, I felt we really were out-of-synch. The asphyxis/breathing metaphor opposing IT/business seems a little bit simplistic to me. I got the point but I think that if you let business do everything they want with data/systems for few years, you'll end up with the biggest mess (silos and so on) youve ever seen.
Sorry, but the actual session didn't quite match what I expected to hear based on the description. And based on how many people got up and left during the first 10 minutes... I don't think I was alone. I stayed for the entire session.. not until the very end did we touch on what I expected to hear... and that came via question from the audience.
