As trends go, three are better than one. At least that’s the promise of the intersection of three major tech trends: Social, Mobile and Cloud a.k.a. “SoMoClo” in the enterprise.
As the mobile workforce moves beyond gaining access to email and calendars to collaborate and generate new ideas and be more efficient anytime, anywhere, on any device, SoMoClo becomes more critical. In theory, SoMoClo promises to drive business transformation, helping all aspects of an organization from marketing, human resources, sales and customer support and development leverage social concepts in their business processes.
This Twitter chat on Thursday, Nov. 8 from 4-5 p.m. ET, will discuss the possibilities of SoMoClo and the obstacles we must overcome to make it a reality, and we have some great experts joining us to lead the conversation:
