Butler Group - which produced a report in mid 2007 entitled 'Rich Web Applications: The business benefits of web-enabled applications development' - said: "The drivers behind consumer led Web 2.0 are also relevant to businesses: these concepts are being transferred to what is called Enterprise Web 2.0...The move within enterprises to SOA and internal Web services creates opportunities for Intranet mashups, exploiting re-use to good effect and allowing business power users to rapidly respond to business opportunities. With Enterprise Web 2.0 power users can transform and re-combine internal business processes in new ways."
WorkLight also argues that Web 2.0 technologies are already present in the enterprise, both with and without the blessing of corporate management and IT departments. "As the workforce becomes younger and tech-savvy, grassroots adoption of widgets and gadgets, RSS, personalised homepages, social networks, instant messaging, blogs and wikis are becoming standard practice within organisations worldwide."
