No.55 Accelerate Enterprise INNOVATION with Web 2.0

• Japanese

SPECIAL ISSUE

Over a decade has now passed since web sites appeared on the internet and e-business incorporating web sites into the enterprise environment came to be utilized. The Web has continued to develop and steady progress has been made in areas such as improvements in the capability of web browsers, the enhancement of browser programming language, the utilization of XML (Extensible Markup Language) and increases in the number of user participation web sites.
The term 'Web 2.0' refers to the characteristics of a web environment aimed at general consumers as part of a developing internet. Activities are again being undertaken to bring the benefits of Web 2.0 technology and user participation to enterprise systems.
Web 2.0 could in some ways be described as a democracy of the Internet world which has been created as a result of the innovations of programmers and other users. However, there are some challenges facing the direct incorporation of these methods into enterprise systems. In enterprise systems, governance is crucial, and a secure, robust and scalable environment based on long-term planning and cost strategies is required. What needs to be done to introduce Web 2.0 into such an environment?
At IBM, we have built our own Web 2.0 environment and created products for enterprises that make the most of this know-how, as well as developed tools and frameworks that allow the safe utilization of Web 2.0 technology in an enterprise environment through our experience of building a variety of systems.
In this special issue of Enterprise Innovation through Web 2.0, we will introduce you to the variety of approaches being undertaken at IBM to incorporate Web 2.0 into enterprise systems. We hope this will be of reference to our customers in employing Web 2.0 in their systems in the future.
In "The 70th Anniversary in IBM Japan Establishment Special Article: The Past, Present and Future of Solutions that Sustain Innovation" which has been serialized since issue No.54, we have provided a message to our customers in the fields of telecommunications/media and public welfare, distribution and government in terms of the approaches provided by IBM Japan to its customers in each industry.
