Large corporations are ready to implement Web 2.0 technologies, including social networks, blogs and wikis, only produced by well-known vendors, and not some startups there. This means that we are waiting for a massive purchase of startups from IBM, Oracle and other corporate vendors. They will implement in their systems the functionality that the customer requires (see diagram).
As part of a recent study by InformationWeek ResearchRepresentatives of large companies were interviewed: they were asked which Web 2.0 tools and other modern technologies are most useful in business on a scale of 1 to 5. The results of the survey are shown in the diagram above. As you can see, among the most useful tools are called wikis, RSS, co-editing documents, unified communications and other technologies that are created by innovative startups.
The problem is that large corporations do not want to use startup products . They would prefer that all of these things be integrated in any one package from a well-known supplier, be it Microsoft, IBM, SAP, BEA Systems or Oracle. Thus, the massive purchase of Web 2.0 startups will continue further.
