Whither RSS in the Enterprise

Posted by charles at March 29, 2006

Marshall Kirkpatrick over at the Social Software Blog (who I hear might be making a guest appearance on this blog soon) recently pointed us to the Moonwatcher Blog, which is the personal blog of Charlie Wood, who also formed an interesting company called Spanning Partners. Both sites are dedicated to covering the emergence of RSS in the Enterprise.

Its true, RSS as a technology is starting to creep into even big enterprise company’s plans. So how does RSS in the Enterprise relate to Management by Feeds?

RSS is a technology. It’s a way of publishing information. To use RSS, you need tools like Mailroom, Basecamp, and Spanning Salesforce to expose the data inside your company through RSS. Management by Feeds is how you use those feeds to make better decisions in less time.

Spanning Partners looks to be doing some important work in helping companies who have already spent the money to deploy big enterprise apps make information from those apps available through RSS. If you use Salesforce, in particular, its worth a look.
