2.0 of the commercial value of Web

Does Web 2.0 play a certain role in an enterprise? People have different opinions.

In Web 2.0 lacks the business impact of SOA, Burton warns,Searchwebservices.comRich Seeley reports that Burton Group Senior Analyst Richard Monson-haefel is not optimistic about the development potential of Web 2.0 in the enterprise in the recent "phone report. Seeley summarizes Monson-haefel's point of view as follows:

Web 2.0 is great for people looking for friendly online communities, but in the bottom line of corporate accounts, the best plan is to stick to service-oriented architecture projects to make profits.

The following content is from the same article:

Enterprise developers may find ways to use individual Web 2.0 applications within the organization, such as wikis and blog, [Monson-haefel] said. However, he did not find a way for developers or architects to provide compelling use cases: to implement profitable web 2.0 applications, unless they are in the social network business area or have the business plan to start the next YouTube.

This viewpoint has great limitations. First, why do we limit the use of Web 2.0 applications to developers or business it terminals? One of the key features of Web 2.0 applications is the idea of creating value through collaboration. Indeed, the business side can use these features. Consider the unique user friendliness of Web 2.0 applications. What if business friendliness enables business users to use Web 2.0 applications to develop solutions to some problems without involving the IT department? Will business flexibility be greatly improved?

This leads to my second argument: If you cancel using Web 2.0 because you can't think of a profitable idea, you will not grasp the essentials.

Web 2.0 plays an irreplaceable role in enterprises. It can create value and improve flexibility. This clearly considers the bottom line of the ledger.

Speaking of this (Web 2.0 in enterprises), the following is Dr. Srinivas padmanabhuni in Web 2.0 and SOA-where do they meet? (OA-snake oil applied? A post on a blog:

Web 2.0 can be expressed by the concept of key enterprise computing trends, which is a supplement to SOA. Now we can imagine a rich ecosystem of interoperable business services connected through public interfaces. It can be considered that Web 2.0 is the driving factor of SOA's rich service consumer ecosystem. It can provide functions such as collaboration, orchestration, custom, and context-sensitive service transformation.
