According to Gartner, enterprise social networks will become the primary communication channels for noticing, deciding or acting on information relevant to carrying out work. And by 2016, 50 percent of large organizations will have internal Facebook-like social networks, and that 30 percent of these will be considered as essential as email and telephones are today. However, Gartner estimates that through 2015, 80 percent of social business efforts will not achieve the intended benefits.
