We know that companies can create competitive advantage through collaborative platforms—from internal, project-specific wikis all the way to Twitter, Facebook, and beyond. But how are platforms actually being used to interact with customers, collaborate with ecosystem partners, and spur business growth? We’ve set out to find out and we need your help.

nGenera Insight invites you to participate in a new survey designed to gather information on platform usage, impact, and challenges. The survey is open to all levels and functions—if you are reading this we would love to hear from you! It only takes about 7 to 10 minutes and as a thank you for your time we will provide you with a summary of the findings.

The survey is designed to gather information and help answer questions like:

• What popular platform technologies are being used for business purposes?
• What progress is being made on creating customer, as well as internal, communities?
• What are the major enterprise challenges faced by those using collaborative platforms?
• How do business leaders view the future of collaborative platforms and their long-term impact?
