enterprise_launchpadlogo_nov09.jpgWe're half way through the Enterprise 2.0 Conference and ReadWriteWeb has been fortunate enough to witness some of the enterprise community's brightest new stars. Enterprise 2.0 Launchpad offers early-stage companies a chance to shine. In a gong-show like presentation series, the four finalists took to the stage to battle it out for the title of best newcomer.

enterprise_oct09a.jpgThe Garland Group: The Garland Group offers financial institutions and banks the chance to assess their risk via a web-based management software. RiskKey offers monitoring, tracking and support to boards and advisors. As of today, the company has launched a new stats program where users can compare similar companies in order to mitigate risk across industries.

Twiki: Twiki allows users to aggregate their sales pipeline, wikis, contacts, employee status updates, documents and feeds into one easy-to-use dashboard. It's a combination Facebook and iGoogle for the enterprise. The company recently announced a partnership with ChinaSource to bring collaborative 2.0 technologies to Chinese government agencies, enterprises and academic institutions.

XWiki: XWiki is a web-based wiki platform where users access a basic WYSIWYG editor for team collaboration. The service allows users to manage multiple team wikis, install customized applications, build work-related feed readers and carve out collaborative workflow environments.

And the Winner Is...

CubeTree: CubeTree offers users a chance to create enterprise social networks with work-related feeds, org charts, status updates, wikis and collaborative documents. Earlier today ReadWriteWeb covered the company's launch of a social documents tool where users can comment on documents, spreadsheets and slides.

  2. Twiki and Xwiki been around for a good many years - not sure I'd call them newbies. No credit for Twiki and Xwiki being open source? That's a very big differentiator for them.
