Competing in a Web 3.0 world with yesterday's tools? IT backbone designs have radical opportunity for contribution to your company's bottom line, but acceptance -- even understanding -- of the new tools has been slow. IT must also DELIVER, with reliability, cost effectiveness, and security -- hard issues for experiimentalists. Universal Communications for business -- Voice Integrated with Video Integrated with Data -- are imperative for global companies. Where do such tools as Skype Video fit with Google Wave" How do you get Cisco Telepresence capability combined with social networking values, for reasonable cost? Where do the Virtual Worlds fit in the IT director's domain? Chuck House has some surprising answers based on Stanford research "on the ground" in key global companies.
