The document discusses how organizations can improve business performance through social media, mobility, and conversations. It provides four fixes: 1) socializing the intranet, 2) using a single content repository, 3) mobilizing content for a post-PC workforce, and 4) making processes more conversational to accelerate success. Case studies are presented that showed benefits like lower costs, better customer relationships, and improved productivity when these fixes were implemented.

2010 Enterprise 2.0 Blazer: Balfour BeattyBy kellsey.ruppel on Oct 08, 20102010 Enterprise 2.0 Blazer: Employee-Facing Portal AwardThe Employee-Facing Portal Award was given to the customer with the best interactive collaboration environment for employees with integrated Web 2.0 tools. This year's recipient was Balfour Beatty.Company BackgroundBalfour Beatty is a world-class infrastructure services business that delivers services essential to the creation and care of infrastructure assets including investment, project design, financing and management, engineering and construction and facilities management services. Balfour Beatty's services can be brought together in any combination to provide an integrated capability. They work for customers principally in the UK, Europe, the US, South-East Asia, Australia and the Middle East who value the highest levels of quality, safety and technical expertise.Business ChallengesBalfour Beatty is a large, global organization; it has over 40,000 staff operating in over 1,200 sites in 100 countries across the world. Balfour Beatty has grown rapidly both organically and by acquisition. Turnover of staff within the construction and engineering industry is relatively high when compared to other sectors. This represents a significant challenge when attempting to retain and share knowledge and locate available expertise in a timely way across the organization. Often, innovation will happen in a local site or office and it can be difficult to make this discoverable to Balfour Beatty staff within the whole Group without a common, globally accessible platform.There is also a movement witnessed in Balfour Beatty and other companies where increasingly, employees, especially the new graduates and younger generation, are demanding Web 2.0 features normally associated with public social networking sites such as Facebook or Twitter. They are expecting to be able to exploit the same features within the corporate network and within enterprise applications to form and build relationships among colleagues and utilize the knowledge they know exists within the organization. The absence of a corporate Enterprise 2.0 platform increases the risk of these types of staff using external social networking sites for business purposes and inadvertently exposing confidential information on the public internet.Why Oracle?Oracle Web Center Suite has enabled Balfour Beatty to build a corporate Enterprise 2.0 platform allowing employees to maintain rich profile pages, build collaborative workspaces and locate other Balfour Beatty staff using a range of built-in social networking tools and search capabilities.Each member of staff has a rich profile page, which contains some corporate information such as operating company and job title that are sourced from the HR system, as well as a range of self service fields such as 'About Me', 'Personal Interests' and Photos that allows other colleagues to find out more about them. This encourages staff to make social connections to like-minded colleagues, invite colleagues to join on-line Communities to contribute to the development of key thinking where they could add value, and locate internal experts who can help to solve complex customer issues.Oracle Web Center Spaces has some excellent out-of-the-box features supporting on-line collaboration, which Balfour Beatty has implemented. For example, workspaces can be discoverable allowing members of staff to search and find any existing Communities of Practice that they are interested in joining. Moderators of each workspace can decide whether this request is automatically accepted, or they set an approval workflow so they can review this against the requestor's rich profile page to ensure they are appropriate before accepting them.Social networking features within WebCenter allow members of staff to interact across Balfour Beatty operating company boundaries and geographies. With a large diverse workforce, this is essential in order to leverage the full range of talent across the group. Staff can maintain business networks and keep in touch with colleagues' activity within a secure corporate Oracle Enterprise 2.0 platform. At the end of an assignment, staff can leave feedback for others to see on their Message Wall recommending them for other projects and validating their published expertise. Over time, this will create a very rich searchable source of information about all staff and allow their expertise to be leveraged to assist other parts of the group.Solution OverviewThe key components of Balfour Beatty's Enterprise 2.0 Platform are:Rich self-service profile pages for each member of staff containing, for example, contact information, photos, skills and experience, qualifications and interestsSocial Networking capabilities including status updates (tweets) , networks of colleagues, activity streams, and the ability to invite colleagues to be a contactCollaboration Workspaces supporting Projects, Communities of Practice and Social GroupsA rich set of Enterprise 2.0 Services - e.g. Blogs, Wikis, Forums, Tagging and Status UpdatesExpertise Finder allowing rapid location of staff across the world with the required skills and experienceEngaging, easy to use interface to encourage user adoption and naturally encourage staff to interact regularlyAccess to the platform using a variety of mobile devices for remote workers, staff based on client sites, etc.The overall benefit of the Enterprise 2.0 portal platform is to provide a rich set of tools that help to connect together Balfour Beatty staff, across geographic and operating company boundaries within a secure corporate environment. Without this, operating companies may be limiting the potential of their innovations, re-inventing the wheel, or missing out on inspiration, advice and experience from across the Group on innovation challenges and improvement initiatives.

The company’s field employees interact with healthcare providers every day, sharing important information about Medtronic products and services. In the past, sales reps had to locate, organize and even print product collateral and take hundreds of pages with them. With recent advances in information technology, Medtronic had an opportunity to build a system that could share documents and presentations to explain complex and highly technical products through a visually rich, interactive, easy to use, mobile platform. The solution needed to be a system that is very accessible – requiring little to no training while abiding by the Medtronic security policies already in place.SolutionMedtronic began investing in personal mobile technologies in April 2010. In the fall of 2010, Fishbowl helped develop a Mobile Content Management System (mCMS) that allows employees to access Oracle WebCenter Content (formerly Oracle Universal Content Management) on the iPads via a proprietary Medtronic mobile app (developed with InFuse Medical, see image to the left).BenefitsUsers quickly retrieve the latest information — including dynamic videos, presentations, and PDF filesContent can be downloaded for offline viewingDownloaded content is organized within preset folders, or can be sorted into folders for easy navigationProduct literature can be emailed during or immediately after meetings using the application’s built-in secure email drop functionAssists Medtronic in complying with regulations: all content that the mCMS application references is stored in Oracle WebCenter’s secure repository and all revisions are tracked in the systemAccess to content is restricted based on credentials, and Medtronic uses Fishbowl’s Advanced User Security Mapping component to automate the mapping of LDAP security groups to Oracle WebCenter accountsIT department values the fusion of the personal mobile technologies and the mCMS application: it leverages the existing security and architecture

Main Point:In order to provide a comprehensive solution, IT typically has 3 options, integrate point solutions, build it themselves, or try to scale departmental solutions to fit the enterprise – which all lead to complications.Script:Since the solution typically requires a comprehensive set of capabilities to meet different user’s needs – organizations previously have had 3 options to take.Acquire a set of different point solutions, usually created by different vendors that are focused on just one core capability. Build a custom solution yourself to meet the specific user requirementsOr, search within the organization to find if you have existing tools already available, and then scale out the technology to be an enterprise solution<animate>All of these options lead to challenges during implementation.Point solutions typically have higher costs, since different pieces may come from multiple vendors and must be integrated together. Since the pieces are not always built to work with each other, you also run into compatibility issues where some pieces only work on some platforms or they each require different developer skills to make customizations. And these solutions can often be very brittle and break during upgrades.Do it yourself homegrown systems– have some nice advantages because you can build it exactly the way you want, however, it is very time and resource intensive. Additionally, often times the main focus is on the initial launch and then it becomes a difficult solution to maintain over time requiring dedicated developers to continually maintain and add new features to keep up with evolving customer demands and alternative productized solutions.Finally, when taking a solution that may work quite well for a specific department’s needs, and then scaling that out to meet enterprise demands – can also run into its own set of challenges. Even if the solution is wide spread across multiple departments, trying to rationalize and consolidate it down to a platform that can meet broader enterprise objectives, can be difficult. It may not have the right features to control governance, or be able to scale to fit the new enterprise demands, and often times it will provide a basic set of capabilities that everyone can use – but then you’re left to custom develop or purchase add-on solutions to help fill the holes.Notes:
