Web 2.0 and Enterprise 2.0 have brought IT organizations a set of capabilities to better meet the demands of business users. However, IT needs to be proactive and build processes to enable agility and creativity, and deploy these assets with appropriate enterprise-level control. What level of performance, control, compliance will ensure team success? And how can you reduce costs and development times for better enterprise value?

This session will overview Enterprise 2.0 Mashup capabilities from IBM and Sonoa Systems, and elaborate on best practices, using real-world scenarios of how they tackled these issues with customers.
