Charlie goes mobile

(with Enterprise 2.0)

Like many of us, Charlie’s job involves being on the road

visiting clients and managing engagements

09:00 Technosis Inc

11:30 Silicon Ventures

16:00 Airport - Boston

Charlie needs access to relevant data…

…filtered based on his schedule

So he uses a web based Mash-up...

…built in house using open source tools & API’s

…with RSS feeds, BaseCamp milestones & tags

combining calendar appointments…

+ + +eOn, Wal Mart,

Federis, Yahoo

…an RSS feed from the client administrator’s blog

(they always have the best info!)

…upcoming client milestones

from Charlie’s BaseCamp projects

…recent bookmarks & blogs tagged with the clients name…

…combined intelligence on client engagements

together they provide…

The best thing about this

Mash-up?

It’s available on Charlie’s phone…

and laptop…

Providing up to the minute client data on the road…

…insuring seamless access to the right data…

…at the right time.

Charlie also uses a status feature…

…just like Facebook or Twitter…

For posting mini updates from his phone or laptop

to be seen by anyone back at the office…

10:31: ..arrived in Boston, a little late

10:46: ..client late too

11:15: ..starting presentation, full board attendance!

12:54: ..went really well, they want full demo’s

13:43: ..send me APC files when you get the chance

…so his colleagues and boss have an idea of his whereabouts, status or progress without the need to email or call

…some may call this micro blogging or presence detection

…Charlie just thinks it’s useful !
