A toutes fins utiles, voici la présentation que j’ai donnée hier soir lors du First Rezonance consacré à l’adoption des médias sociaux dans l’entreprise.

How many other companies (of any type, not just computer companies) would replace a 3-year old product with the latest model of the product just because a part was temporarily out of stock?
