According to Forrester, growth in software investment is shifting to people centric and collaborative software with 37% of IT decision-makers planning to implement or expand the use of collaboration tools, compared with 25% or less who are planning investments in traditional software such as enterprise resource planning, human capital management or product life-cycle management. The drivers for this change include: • A greater desire for organisations to capture and re-use knowledge. • The need to maintain connections throughout a distributed workforce. • The need to align software systems to meet new workforce demands. This event discussed Microsoft's vision for social collaboration in the enterprise and see how you can extend your SharePoint platform with Yammer to foster greater team collaboration, empower your employees and drive business agility.
