"The recent release of Forrester's report on corporate blogging platforms is testament to the increasing market interest in enterprise blogging," said David Carter, CTO and vice president of strategy for iUpload. "But with all the excitement surrounding blogging in the enterprise, many organizations are blindly adopting blogs and wikis without a sufficient grasp of the full opportunities and benefits they can deliver. Most corporate blogging programs today fall short in their ability to leverage the vast amounts of content and information created that can fuel key corporate functions, such as sales, research and development, and customer service. These webinars will help put companies on the right path to building successful blogging initiatives."
