Over the last decade, organizations went from locked down, process-driven corporate portals that provided a digital version of the collection of binders on the shelves within most cubicles, to an ad hoc collaboration mecca. Employees can now pick their own devices, which apps to install and data might come from a server under their desk, in a building across the street, or from a data mart sitting half way around the world. The point is, organizations have options when it comes to building a collaborative enterprise. These choices will help them pick the right set of features for their corporate culture, and to align their social and collaborative activities with their business objectives.
