The real conference has not started yet but am really excited by what I'm seeing. So many tools presented here focus on the collaborative editing, annotation, sharing and tracking of documents, whether spreadsheets, presentations, or word documents. That's Document 2.0!

 

These tools are wonderful, extremely powerful, and very easy to use. They get the work done better than anything else out there and get good adoption from individuals or small groups. But what about Enterprise Adoption? How can we reconcile this trend with long-term preservation, legal compliance, or just security and privacy issues?

 

These are some of the topics we'll discuss on the Document 2.0 panel. Join us there!

Document 2.0 panel

Posted by Francois Ragnet Sep 2, 2008

We'll be having a panel discussion on Document 2.0 that should be great!

 

I'll be joined by panelists Mitch Grasso (SlideRocket),  Jason Harrop (Plutext), Gregg Johnson (Salesforce.com), Luis Sala (Alfresco), and David Terrar (WordFrame), who will bring their unique viewpoints on the role of the Document in Office and Entreprise 2.0, and comment on Information Overload.

 

After a brief introduction on the "scope" of the discussion (including a small animation that I'm sure you'll like — I won't say more), I'll let them give them their views on many aspects of Document 2.0, such as:

 

  • the role of documents in Office 2.0 (why should you care?),
  • Standards for Document 2.0,
  • Document 2.0 and Information Overload,
  • Technology enablers and infrastructure for Document 2.0,
  • The role of paper in Document 2.0,
  • And many other interesting topics...

 

This discussion is going to be awesome.

 

Join us Thursday, September 4, 2008, 3:30PM to 4:15PM in the Conservatory (4th floor)!

The Digital Universe

Posted by Francois Ragnet Aug 18, 2008

Even though the Paper Universe is (somewhat) under control, what about a Digital Document / Office 2.0 Universe in full expansion? Recent estimates are staggering: the Web Universe is made of over a trillion pages. And that’s nothing compared to the overall Digital Universe a few hundred exabytes, and growing at an incredible pace!How can we make sense of all that data? Isn’t finding a needle in the haystack a piece of cake compared to that? How can we put the Digital Universe under control, and the cloud under control? Although not as direct, this does have some impact on the environment, too…
