Organizations without a 2.0 strategy risk failure

TORONTO, June 30 /PRNewswire/ - An organization without a 2.0 strategy risks
being left behind, or outright failure (though death may be slow)," says Toby
Ward, CEO of Prescient Digital Media's Intranet 2.0 Global Survey. "Employees
want to work for progressive and innovative organizations, and expect 2.0
environments from employers of choice."
561 organizations of all sizes from across the planet participated in the
Intranet 2.0 Global Survey and the results reveal rapid adoption of social
media on the corporate intranet in the past year.
"Once a nice-to-have or a future wish, Intranet 2.0 tools such as blogs and
wikis have become mainstream, and are present in nearly 50% of organizations
in the Western World," says Ward.
Intranet blogs, wikis & discussion forums are quite pervasive in many
organizations:

- 47% have intranet wikis (17% enterprise deployment); 10% have no
plans or interest
- 45% have intranet blogs (13% enterprise deployment); 11% have no
plans or interest
- 46% have intranet discussion forums (19% enterprise use); 9% have no
plans or interest

For those organizations that have deployed 2.0 tools on the intranet, about
48% of organizations use Microsoft SharePoint, which dominates all technology
platforms.
Intranet 2.0 is cheap. Of those organizations that have implemented 2.0 tools,
almost half (46%) have spent $10,000 or less on these tools; 35% have spent
between $10,000 and $100,000; 19% have spent $100,000 or more.
