We’re looking for opportunities that

• give us a chance to do cool stuff

• streamline existing processes

• benefit from end user ownership

• work better when the content drives comment

• provide a foundation for end user contribution of content

Case study• Many large enterprises have a wealth of underutilised

video and multimedia content – announcements, training material, induction content, messages from the CEO etc.

• This Web 2.0 implementation aims to provide a ‘home’ for this information, and to extend it’s usefulness by introducing a sense of community and interaction – to drive discussion, understanding and use of

the content• It also provides a foundation for end user addition of their own training or information content

The video window

wow, I can’t believe we have the same hair!

add your rating

This is the first in a series of three training videos about the importance of good hair in the organisation. You will learn to identify good and bad hair, and will understand how to make decisions that will end bad hair days forever. This video is most applicable to staff who do not wear hats.

• Built as a Portal custom item type

• Information is captured in multiple hits

• Video is uploaded in flash first, then the item management interface allows that file to be played back in 5 second increments so that sub-titles can be captured.

• Sub-titles are stored in the database and rendered in flash on screen – which provides enormous flexibility to deliver all content from the DB in multiple formats for accessibility (on screen sub-titles for hearing impaired users, re-rendered text pages for visually impaired users with screen readers).

LearningsChallenge Considerations

A rich interface stretches the toolset and requires creative, design and development resources

Make sure that the team understands responsibilities before kickoff, and find specialist skills where needed.

Everyone has a say The concept of moderation needs to be introduced – and balanced to encourage usage, mistakes and learnings

Creation of content by end users Workflow can be used to manage the appropriateness of major items of content. Moderation needs to be visible and fair to suit the community.

People’s contributions generate workflow or actions

Can the rest of the team opt in for alerts, updates OR could we possibly be creating ‘instituted spam’

People can interact with who they like Can I ‘Block’ my boss?

Accessible by all We need to manage accessibility through great design and considering issues prior to build. Subtitles, generation of readable pages (from search results) and good UI design are all important.

Summary

• The tools to build compelling Web 2.0 applications are available now. Portal, UCM and Java can be used to deliver applications that help to build a community and empower end users.

• Web 2.0 tools can play a part in breathing new life into existing content, and can act as a catalyst to uncover skills in the organisation.

• Implementing great Web 2.0 applications needs you to consider managing cultural change, process improvement opportunities and adoption of new ideas by the customer base.

• Successful Web 2.0 projects are cool – and an opportunity to inject fun while driving business benefit.
