In today's hyper-competitive global economy, the ability to be agile and respond to change is more important than ever before. Information and the interactions around it have become the key assets of most enterprises, and making correct decisions in shrinking cycle times is the defining characteristic of winning companies. The market imperative to access the right information and people at the right time has led to an increased interest in building a next-generation enterprise workplace. Such a workplace leverages Web 2.0 technologies and usage patterns to transition the enterprise to an Internet-powered, user-focused, and community-centric social fabric that ties together people, ideas, content, processes, systems, and enterprise applications.

Bringing Web 2.0 capabilities and services to the enterprise is more than just introducing the latest technology; it's about changing the traditional business model and tapping into the creativity, intellect, and passion of every single employee. It is much more important for companies to understand the changing trends in business than to just implement the next "hot" technology product. Oracle WebCenter enables companies to foster the development of new ideas, tap into critical employee thinking and knowledge, and enable the synergy of teams to revolutionize their existing business models and achieve lasting success.
