Now, we're on the cusp of the Enterprise 2.0 movement and Netvibes has suddenly come back as a contender for providing dashboard environments to better manage enterprise software.
Today, Netvibes is announcing a "sales, marketing and technology," partnership with Sage Software, an enterprise software company with 5.8 million customers worldwide and more than 14,500 people worldwide.
Sage will integrate the Netvibes dashboard technology into Sage software products and business processes. The idea is that enterprise software has become increasingly complex for users. Netvibes technology will help manage Sage software by providing customers with an environment that is more user friendly. Sage is hoping the partnership will bridge enterprise software with the Web 2.0 features of the Netvibes technology.
