The Enterprise Technology Convergence Council (The ETCC), sponsored by IKOEX, is a networked organization focused on the discussion and promotion of converging Business Intelligence (BI) and Enterprise Information Management (EIM) technologies. Converging Analytics, Process and Content shall be our rally cry, so that we may do our part in moving organizations closer towards the pinnacle of Enterprise Information Management - a process and objective we define as Knowledge Optimization.

As our community is by invitation only, our goal is to get shared opinions of knowledge workers that share a similar passion to move beyond information silos and into a converged world. Our mission and passion is to propagate organizations with today's BI and EIM best-practices without being on the bleeding edge, while being innovators and fiduciary first movers on converging tomorrow's technology.

The symbioses among structured and unstructured content demands insights by knowledge workers who can help propel with the way organizations conduct business.

Below is a bit of a creed, which I believe is implicitly understood by members of The ETCC:

Members of The ETTC believe in paying it forward;

Members of The ETTC will avoid posting discussions that self-promote without adding value to the mission;

Members of The ETTC believe in the concept that less (off-topic posts) is more (beneficial, keeping the airwaves free for convergence insights);

Members of The ETTC believe that the way to promote one's ideas (an objective of social media after all) is to add value by sharing insights, articles, events or useful industry links;

Members of The ETTC recognize that the group is a knowledge sharing forum with the mission of promoting and discussing technology convergence. « less
