I think data and analytics are often the under stated (so far) components of Office 2.0. Behind all the produdtvity tools, what is going to drive lots of the disruption will really be the type of things Andreas will address.
Ah, yes. Transparency. Collaboration's oft-unmentioned partner. One might even say collaboration without transparency is just a fleeting affair — thrilling at first, but often ends in disappointment and hurt.
I believe S3 and EC2 (or other cloud computing platform) will play a really disruptive role in providing Document 2.0 services (ingestion, transformation, processing, output) in a leaner and agile fashion. However, one of the barriers that I envision is privacy and confidentiality for these documents — although more of a psychological barrier, this will have to be addressed. I'm looking forward to these topics being addressed during this session.
