Enterprise Web 2.0

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Enterprise Web 2.0

Nexaweb describes EW2.0 as:

Embraces the convergence of Web 2.0 technologies such as Ajax with legacy systems, web services, and Service-Oriented Architectures to enable organizations to deploy robust, reliable, and secure business applications over the Web.

This definition is very good. However it is also very limiting based on the companies focus. For instance Web 2.0 is about more than just Ajax, it can be Flash or other GUI technologies that enhance the user’s experience. Also, EW2.0 is about web applications, SaaS, BPM, processes as well as those listed above such as web services and SOA.

A better definition is:

Enterprise Web 2.0 -is a complete business methodology that increases collaboration and access to information and people, enhances the end-user experience by embracing the latest web technologies, and takes advantage of legacy applications and data either through prepackaged applications or through composite web applications built on and with Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), Business Process Management (BPM) and Application Integration.
