Well, while we have made significant IT investments in transactional systems over the past decade, they aren’t suited to address these complexities.Those systems that automate routine tasks, like order processing, HR self-serve systems or inventory management are enormously important – businesses run on them and have achieved huge productivity gains over the last decade. They were and continue to be the right investments at that time.And the primary collaborative tools in this same era have been text or document-centric. These are best suited for more structured problems, with one to one or one to few people participating in the collaborative process.Clearing: Today we use a wealth of communications centric and Web 2.0 capabilities in business. And they are changing the way we work within and between companies, partners, suppliers – even customers. Transition: And the trends I described are affecting those repeatable business processes that depend on people - processes that have multiple decision makers and multiple viewpoints.
