Thank you to Walton Smith of Booz Allen Hamilton for presenting in our Voice of the Customer webinar series. Walton Smith helped create Hello.bah.com, a platform combining 'best of breed enterprise 2.0 tools' which utilizes Confluence. He goes on to say that there has been over 30% buy-in from his co-workers in about 7 months. This is no small feat, considering they have over 21K employees! Watch the recording now:

It's nice to see that BAH did enough research to figure out that a good majority of their people are not in the offices but are on client sites or otherwise in the field. I can name at least one major company that refuses to recognize same...and assumes that employees will/should come to the intranet home page for major announcements (neither sent via email or other channels of relevance), even though many employees are effectively contract employees of other firms that do not allow the employees access to their own employer corporate website from their work computers.

Given that I started in the field and assumed I had joined the consulting division of the company, none of this made any sense -- which drove me to pursuing elements of E2.0 adoption.

Thanks for your input on this topic. Another great example of a company using Confluence for world-wide field work is BearingPoint: http://blogs.atlassian.com/news/2008/11/going_global_wi.html

You guys need to give us an Embed Video link on these so we can embed into our own wikis when we are pitching clients. Currently you have to do a geek code-view which, when you do many vids, just takes too long and stunts viral opportunity for you.

Thanks

@ Mark: If you skip the video to the very end, let it run out, then you are given a screen which allows you to grab the embed code.
