ANALYSIS - Or an example of a bleeding edge user? Only time will tell, but few things will help drive adoption more than a case study in a leading publication like Information Week.

With the goal of reducing the speed with which they bring products to market by improving employee collaboration, the article discusses the struggles and successes that Proctor \& Gamble went through as they rolled out their Enterprise 2.0/Web 2.0 tool (Wikis, RSS feeds and collaborative tools). Many aspects of the deployment were covered in the article but one aspect that was absent is what P\&G does to ensure that the network is kept secure, a key consideration, given that many of the applications in use may not be visible to the traditional security solutions.
