Fear of Web 2.0

I found this article that talks about enterprise and web 2.0 – it explains how enterprise is divided on the new technologies…they know they need to adopt – but they are not comfortable with “cloud” computing.

In adoption of Web 2.0 the biggest pushback was from IT – whether right or wrong the article stated:

“There could be a lot of reasons why employees don’t use web 2.0 tools. What I found surprising in Forrester’s report was that IT decision-makers appear to be quite happy that only 15% of employees in their company use web 2.0 tools.”

My only issue here is we have a group of corporate front line web developers and designers trying to compete with the small, agile web 2.0 companies – and they cannot get adoption from within.

But, IT has a point in that we all want to assume the data “inside the house” is safe and sound.
