Delivering Secure Messaging Services for Enterprise Process and Collaboration
Enterprise messaging is often delivered internally, through servers set up and administered by internal IT professionals. While this provides the means to accept, route, and deliver e-mail throughout the enterprise, its administrative burden often prevents its use in implementing innovative solutions to messaging problems. Find out how this burden can be alleviated with this free paper. You'll learn about delivering messaging services from the "cloud," and how doing so allows better control over messaging between business partners within and outside of the enterprise. You'll get an inside look at how using messaging as a service can help to automate business processes and workflow automation. You'll also learn about how messaging services provide better reliability and scalability than is usually possible with an internally-administered messaging system.
Economist Intelligence Unit - Technology and growth at mid-sized companies
Small to mid-sized enterprises (SMEs) that make intelligent use of ICT (information and communications technology) can gain a competitive edge within their industries.

Simultaneous organizations are hierarchy free and transparent. Simultaneous organizations view decisions as event led, collaborative and a continuum as against a push based, 'Point product'.
