Hi --



By popular analysts estimates, fully 70% of the future enterprise IT an KM
application portfolio will be mashups.



It does not happen often, but there is truly a knowledge-based technology
revolution underway. Mashups allow users to achieve mastery of the long tail
of their knowledge and information ecosystems. For decades this has been the
grail of business and all knowledge-based information technology.



In the past, the crushing lack of context has been responsible for the
widespread failure of IT. It is the cause the frequent collapse of KM,
collaboration and portal applications. Because mashups are social and
individuated, they are highly contextual. Mashups support key roles in the
value network. They assure the confident and continuous delivery of business
value.



Mashups allows knowledge workers to create enterprise mashups such as ad hoc
visualizations created by blending information or data from both enterprise
repositories and the Web.

Again, >70% of KM & IT apps will be mashups... Mashups are complex adaptive
systems... Mashups are complex in that they are diverse and made up of
multiple interconnected elements and adaptive in that they have the capacity
to change and learn from experience...

Mashups and collaboration depend on VN/A.

Enterprise mashups and open social mashups propel knowledge workers to new
heights of productivity, innovation and performance with ease.



Mashups are distributed, social, collaborative, net-centric and ad hoc. They
are the fastest growing IT and KM Web ecosystem by far. Quite honestly, they
need to be seen to be believed. For creating sustained business value
networks, mashups are the real deal.



Your NYC Value Network and KM cluster community will colonize this critical
theme using the low-cost, effective cluster model. The Open Enterprise 2.0
Mashup Summit is Friday, 1 February, 2008 in New York City, NY. The venue is
the popular NYC Conference Center.
