Knowledge Management Software

What is Knowledge Management?

Knowledge management is the explicit management of vital knowledge and information possessed by individuals so that it is effectively shared and used by others in the organization. Through the effective sharing of intellectual capital, organizational knowledge must be efficiently transformed into business intelligence.

This allows an organization to tap into the same pool of resources, knowledge, experience and practices so it can be effectively reused.

Personal knowledge involving a business process has to be turned into organizational knowledge so that it can used to the benefit or the organization and applied throughout with consistency.

The primary function of Knowledge Management Systems should be to make information available to authorized users. Implementing a document indexing and retrieval system is only the beginning. Capturing corporate knowledge requires a strong document management software and cultural transformation of how information is generated, processed, stored, distributed and turned into innovation.

Knowledge Management is a process that has to have wide support and sponsorship within an organization to succeed. A case for a full commitment must be made. As a starting point a strong and proven technology platform should be deployed. Organizational knowledge should be documented by knowledge managers and should be made accessible using effective technologies. The strategy and ultimate target should be to become a "Learning Organization".

Why is Knowledge Management Important?

Because not managing it is unthinkable!

Think about it! Every business procedure involves some sort of knowledge and know-how. What would it be like to re-invent the wheel everytime we had to do something?

We have to keep learning and reusing what we already know and this has to be deliberate. There has to be an effort in place to reuse the information we have already gained. Only then we can continue to compete in the marketplace. The ability to tap into business intelligence requires the management of knowledge.
