Read/WriteWeb highlights a new Forrester Research report on Enterprise RSS: Enterprise RSS Tackles Information Worker Overload.
Information workers today are drowning in content — email, newsletters, press releases, and spam — and the problem is getting worse. To deal with this tsunami, workers are turning to RSS (Really Simple Syndication). Although efficient for individual information workers, unmanaged, RSS can wreak havoc on enterprise IT. To prevent problems like bandwidth overload and security infractions, information and knowledge management professionals should implement enterprise RSS solutions. Enterprise RSS turbo-charges the benefits of unmanaged RSS adoption with internal content syndication, filtering, and collaboration. It also provides increased security and reduces IT requirements.
Managing RSS feeds is quickly becoming a desktop priority as more and more content is being delivered in this format. While a year or so ago few if any of our customers had RSS strategies, we're increasingly being asked for advice in terms of managing RSS feeds of both external/premium content and content that is created behind the firewall. We expect the use of RSS will continue to grow quickly within the enterprise.
