Pistachio Consulting published one of the first comprehensive surveys of the enterprise microsharing tools market in fall 2008. This report is available for free on our site. That report was based, in part, on a 15-question survey that we invited the tool providers to complete about their products. We verified the information and, in many cases, conducted follow-up interviews.
Much has happen since it first appeared and so we are developing an update now. For example, many of the enterprise collaboration application providers have integrated microsharing into their feature sets. In addition, many new features have been introduced to better adapt microsharing to the enterprise environment and to take advantage of the possibilities within the contained, secure, and trusted community that an enterprise offers. We have expanded our questions to take these changes into consideration.
Our new survey contains 30 questions to reflect the advances in current offerings. We now invite interested enterprise microsharing vendors to participate in this new research effort. There is a brief explanation of each question. Be sure to refer to these explanations as you complete the survey. We look forward to sharing the results. The survey is now open and will be open for participation until Monday May 3, 2010.
We will again be verifying the input and contacting many of the participating vendors for follow-up conversations. Bill Ives will be instrumental in doing the research. Gina Minks, our intern, will offer additional enterprise perspective and assist in the process. Laura Fitton will provide her unique perspective on the microsharing space, and I’ll work closely on the report writing.
We look forward to producing something valuable to the enterprise 2.0 community and to each of us doggedly determined to learn as much as we can with our colleagues, in the little moments between the rest of our work.
