Web 2.0 for Corps - Roll Stream

Today, many companies are struggling to understand how to capitalize on Social Media technologies. Web 2.0 is making it easier for them to draw the connection. In a recent ZDNet article Web 2.0 Technologies to Watch Roll Stream's Web 2.0 tool was introduced.  Anyone that has had to oversee contractors can appreciate the value that these tools bring.  1) They allow the vendors to self register and manage their own profiles.  This saves time and as their parts and services change they are responsible for maintaining them.  One of my recent clients paid a company over half a million to cleanup their parts inventory catalogue data because the part numbers, manufacturer names and descriptions were all garbage.  2) These tools allow better vendor communications with the end users as well as the purchasing department so there is less confusion caused by the "middle-man".  Roll stream is one set of tools that truly helps with business to business communities.
