It seems the corporate world is starting to take notice of the web-based tools and services that have made social software and ‘web 2.0′ so popular. An article in the Globe and Mail today discusses how businesses are able to use web services to enable collaboration and even building databases.
Michael Rhodin, general manager of IBM’s Lotus division, said the Web 2.0 method of “capturing collaborative wisdom…is a different take on knowledge management, which was fundamentally flawed.”
One of the latest entrants in this field is Vancouver-based Dabble DB, which came out of private “beta” mode this week and launched the public version of its service: An interactive database management tool that will spread joy to corporate project managers everywhere.
So I wandered off to check out Dabble DB and it looks pretty amazing from the demo. This is definitely a tool that would help small organizations or departments build databases to support specific functions. I wonder how scalable it will be. I guess I’m going to have to set aside some time to actually try the product for 30 days.
