Dave Peak, on the Enterprise 2.0 launchpad, with Liquidtalk.
Right now, how many of you are checking your blackberry. The reality is we are out of time, are out of the offfice, have few cracks in the day to get it done and few chances to connect in real time. Difficult to collaborate when out of the office, hard to get knowledge on the go, productivity plummets when on the go. Attracting the best talent means helping the next generation get their information immeadiacy, place value on peer input. Roles are getting tougher while expectations are higher, with rising rep turnover rates, high dependency on top performers. A disengaged and disconnected workforce means lost productivity and lost revenue.
Our answer is mobile workforce engagement. Create, find, organize and push audio/video business content to mobile devices. Leverages the most powerful means for collaboration -- the human voice.
Liquidtalk portal lets a rep gain access to video and podcast files, and synch them to their mobile device. The inbox is about things pushed to his list by his boss to consume as well. Liquidcast lets you phone in a podcast to the Liquidlibrary.
Dave Coleman's take: This is more interesting, would like for new vendors to explain what they do in one slide rather than five or six. I thought this was more of DVD for conversations that you can timeshift. You are more like Tivo than iTunes. I find podcasts useful, but as information transfer than knowledge.
Stowe Boyd's take: I feel to compelled to talk about the slideshow because the buildup was different. I have the sense that this is a feature. Creating content seems like work, but if it was part of something larger, such as being part of Salesforce.com and its activity.
Ross' take: there are a lot of podcasting companies and tools in the
space. This seems well focused for enterprise use. Every product
starts as a feature.
