Tips for making a smoother transition:
Eliminate the old product. Make the new product have to be used and make employees get comfortable with it.
Use believers to your advantage. They are adopters who for some reason quickly see the benfits of the new product and use it. Just with examples in groudswell, use these people to you advantage. Let them tell everyone why they really like it and that it should be implemented.
Build ESSP'S that are compatable with current technology becuase more people will be likely to use them. For example you can access Facebook from you Cell. Facebook may be new but using cell phones isn't.
Twitter and e-mail are compatable.
People use e-mail and Ent. 2.0 would be a partial shift from using something that they are comfortbale with and that is why it is taking over more slowly.
Also communicate with the intended users of the tech. Communication is key !

Ent. 2.0 Chp. 6
This chapter was about people worrying about people putting inappropriate content on the site or people putting information that isn't relevant.
People will contribute innacurate material and embarrasing information.
However, it is thought that the benefits outway the disadvantages.
Many company execs. say that the biggest barrier is actually the users who don't want to change and not the managers that don't want to input and use the new technology.
The had a saying " we value items in our possession more than itmes that could be in our possession" and this totally makes since. People value e-mail, something they have now and now the changes that could be implented by Ent. 2.0 becuase there are chances that they will fail. People are comfortable with what they know and that is that!!!

Cloud Computing
Cloud computing is sharing resources and information to computers on demand. Alot of people have criticized this term because they feel that we are already using these means of technology. This type of technology can be implemented in many different ways. There is the public cloud or the external cloud. There are community, hybrid and private clouds. Amazon, Google and IBM have began to use cloud computing, seeing that there is room for relationships among customers and sellers of products.
