CTS 04 TUTORIAL II
The Collaboration Market and Technologies
Abstract:
Over the last 15 years
collaboration technologies and the market for them have advanced rapidly. This tutorial will look at the evolution
of collaboration technologies that were driven by populations of "early
adopters." However, there is a
radical shift in the population that is now using collaboration technologies,
and it is no longer the technophilic and risk tolerant early adopters
that are buying these technologies, but rather the "early majority"
which is risk adverse and wants a solution rather than a technology. How are these market factors affecting
development of both synchronous and asynchronous collaboration technologies? How is collaborative infrastructure
being incorporated into the enterprise and the value network? A taxonomy of
collaborative tools/technologies is presented to provide a framework for
discussion. Examples of products in
each taxonomy segment will be discussed as well as some of the market issues
and dynamics for each segment.
Technology convergence and integration trends will also be
explored. Survey data, case studies
and scenarios will be presented where appropriate.
This tutorial is geared for
academics, IT managers and engineers interested in collaboration as well as
marketing executive from collaboration software vendors.
