Unfortunately, this approach creates the risk of offering mobile applications that do not meet expectations and reflect negatively on banks’ brands." |

Not only does the new version extend the reach of a Worklight application, it also lowers the costs involved, since companies no longer have to spend the money to develop a Facebook app, then develop an iPhone app — they just build one app and deploy it (almost) anywhere." |

The widget feeds directly into Ness’s core SAP system. “When we take into account the hours of employee time saved in this way, we’ve calculated that we’ll get an ample return on the project cost of $100,000 within a year,” says Andres Kukawka, Ness chief executive. The company plans a similar widget for capturing employee expenses information." |

In addition, a growing number of vendors aim to help companies set up and manage enterprise-grade Web 2.0 applications. For example, WorkLight offers Java-based software that will help authenticate, encrypt, store and manage Web 2.0 applications." |

| 10 Start-Ups to Watch in '09 - WorkLight |
| "Why we're watching it: WorkLight will make it easier for enterprises to adopt Web 2.0 technology by connecting them to existing collaboration technologies widely available on the Web. Instead of buying and installing a separate social-networking software package, for example, London's Standard Chartered Bank settled on WorkLight because it enables the secure use of Facebook - which many of its workers already used. WorkLight lets businesses use such Web tools as Facebook in such a way that sensitive data is never visible to non-employees and is not stored on public servers." |
