In June 2009, SoCo Partners founded The 2.0 Adoption Council, a peer-based, information-sharing group interested in the latest thinking, best practices, case studies, and helpful tips associated with executing socio-collaborative strategies and projects in the large enterprise. The Council consists of over 100 world class market leaders who are currently engaged in a 2.0 adoption initiative at their large enterprise.
SoCo Partners publishes quantified research on 2.0 Adoption, research reports on trends in social computing, and actively manages two large Community networks of leading early adopters.

Prior to embracing the Enterprise 2.0 phenomenon, Ms. Scrupski enjoyed a world renowned reputation as an expert on the multi-billion dollar market in IT services where she kept abreast of trends in IT outsourcing and large-scale systems integration. As a leading blogger, writer, and coach to Fortune 500 clients, Ms. Scrupski is a trusted resource for vendors and customers alike tracking developments in Enterprise 2.0.

Why SoCo?
SoCo has a double meaning. 1. SoCo (short for South Congress) is Austin’s, “…vibrant, hip, and creative neighborhood” featuring some of the best music venues, restaurants, and shopping Austin has to offer. 2. SoCo is also short for Socio-Collaborative philosophies and tools that comprise the strategic underpinnings of the 2.0 transformation.
