In the next release of the Cogenz enterprise bookmarking system, we’re including one feature that it so small but we think so relevant to its use as one of the most straightforward ways of getting on the Enterprise 2.0 bandwagon.
Taking our lead from micro-blogging system Twitter, every time a colleague subscribes to your bookmarks in […]

If they gave prizes for not blogging for over six months, we’d win.
Usually, you’d just think we’d gone into hiding or become one of the first Enterprise 2.0 casualties. But Bill Ives has gone and linked to this blog in a post written for the Fast Forward blog, entitled Enterprise 2.0 Application Providers are Blogging and spoiled […]

In his latest Team Think blog post, ZDNet’s Dave Greenfield highlights "a glaring, underserviced niche" in the enterprise bookmarking and tagging market.
He identifies that the "small enterprise" of 50-500 users has similar security requirements to large enterprises and wants the ease of use of consumer-orientated services, but simply cannot afford the $20+ per user price […]

We’re always interested in new ways to explain social bookmarking and its benefits for business, and these two videos and slideshows do the job perfectly.
First up, the latest in the Plain English series from Common Craft, explaining what social bookmarking is "in Plain English" using the public del.icio.us service as an example.

And to add the […]

In a very good introduction to Enterprise 2.0, CIO.com (perhaps unwittingly) demonstrates why public social bookmarking systems like del.icio.us are not appropriate and potentially even dangerous as business tools:

Whilst we’re not great fans of the term here at Cogenz towers, we couldn’t help but applaud Frédéric Cavazza’s excellent article answering the question What is Enterprise 2.0?
If you’re into schematic diagrams take a look. You won’t be disappointed.

We’re so pleased to see that Andrew McAfee has set up a space for people to share case studies on successful Enterprise 2.0 case studies. Cogenz has added our experiences with BUPA and iConcertina into the pot, and we would actively encourage others to include their stories.
The more solid case studies we as an industry […]

We’d like to be amongst the first (or even the first?) to congratulate Puneet Gupta and his team at Connectbeam on securing Series A funding. They are, without doubt, the leaders when it comes to complex enterprise bookmarking systems.
I’ve met Puneet just the once, but read and comment on his blog frequently, and he’s a […]

I’ve just been to the Unicom conference in London on Social Tools for Business Use, and found it really insightful to hear people’s views and experiences on where and how social tools are actually being adopted within organisations. Seems like we’re seeing more and more case studies being shared (here we heard from BT, CILIP […]

Further to the case study we recently published demonstrating how BUPA are using social bookmarking to facilitate networking across their organisation, we just posted another that outlines how a web development company are using it to share intelligence across continents.
Whilst Cogenz shares an investor with the subject of our second case study, iConcertina, there were […]
