Thanks for commenting Tony, I’m glad you enjoyed it. Me too, I’m always on the lookout for examples of how organisations are actually using and adopting these networks, that I can then share on, Rachel

A great read Rachel, and thanks for sharing those insights with Coca-Cola, London 2012, TfL etc – great to see real examples of how businesses are benefiting from these networks!

Thank you for your comment John, good spot. That’s a great analogy – and very true!

I can see from an IT perspective why request for information (rfi) and request for proposal (rfp) processes exist. It would be true to say Internal Comms teams aren’t the only ones playing catch-up in that regard, as the impact and responsibility spreads further.

I’ll be covering making choices that align with culture in a future column, and infrastructure and technology requirements/realities are certainly an important part of that mix, Rachel.

Hi Rachel, in your list you miss the number 1 : IBM Connections
In regard of the freemium model: IT gets a tool in house that meets the first step of open collaboration, but often companies get stuck with that tool as it does not fit the requirements they have. With normal IT the business and IT set up the specs, do rfi, rfp and then choose. It’s like getting the freemium NASCAR car, but then the company want to do the Paris Dakar rally.
