In the first corner, social technologies. In the second, corporate culture. Round 1!

It may be just a coincidence, but probably not. The very week IBM decides to launch its new Cloud Docs productivity suite, Microsoft decides to make the new version of Office 2013 available to business users.

A “perfect storm” of change in information technology -- including cloud, social, mobile and big data -- is helping to remold the opportunities for information professionals. That’s one of the key findings in a new white paper from AIIM, which paints a picture of a fast-moving industry in which practitioners have to run to keep up.

You could say that 2012 was the year that the legal industry embraced social media -- but that doesn't mean that social media embraced the legal system.

Over the course of the past year, the pace of change in the social collaboration space rivals that of Star Trek’s Enterprise.

IBM has been preparing SmartCloud Docs (SCD) for quite a while now and has made no secret of it. Today’s announcement comes as part of a much bigger picture around IBM’s cloud computing ambitions and also sees the release of new services -- the IBM SmartCloud.

The company whose collection of products aim to "help the world remember everything" -- otherwise known as Evernote -- has announced the launch of Evernote Business, a collaboration and communication tool for small and medium sized businesses.

In this holiday season, collaborative work platform Podio, a subsidiary of collaboration technology provider Citrix, is giving users of its a thematically appropriate gift – the gift of sharing.

The prevailing theory is that the main reason your business is not yet “social” is that you aren’t trying hard enough to change your culture. Really?

In 2013, I predict that the "culture" bluff will be called. Technology will be called to account for its fair share of the challenge.

There’s a new TeamViewer. Version 8 of the popular remote control and online meetings software offers enhanced performance, additional capabilities and, for enterprises, a new Management Console.

What's the bad news? According to a study by Prescient Digital Media and reported on by CMSWire, over 1/3 of executives and end users within companies rate their social business platform as "poor or very poor". What's the good news? Thousands of companies have rushed in to make every conceivable mistake in the book so that you can learn from them. Some of the mistakes are obvious, and some more subtle.

In this final installment of my interview with Yammer co-founder Adam Pisoni, we discuss the role of culture in social business, Yammer's long-term vision and the future of Yammer with Microsoft.

Continuing my conversation with co-founder Adam Pisoni, we discuss Yammer's integration strategy, and the two things he thinks get in the way of most collaboration. He'll take a look at how business models are changing and driving more value out of employees, how space effects collaboration and how communication drives everything!
