KnowledgeBase
- Consolidate your organisational information
- Facilitate easy discovery of content
- Ensure that knowledge shared is always accurate and up-to-date
The central store of all documented, recorded, or otherwise digitised
corporate knowledge is held and accessed by KnowledgeBase - succinctly put it is your
database of knowledge for your organisation.
It is 'content neutral'; that is, anything from electronic drawings,
maps, minutes, policies, movies, and sound can be stored. All content
can have a title, versions, authors, publication dates, reviews,
meta-data, keywords and FAQs associated with them - all are discoverable
and accessible within a securable framework.
KnowledgeBase FAQs are the pointers to the right answers within
your organisation. Those answers can be: simple one line answers,
a link to a web page, a policy document, a list of expert staff,
or a detailed decision tree that steps the customer through a question
and answer session.
FAQs can be thought of as alternative titles, or pointers to specific information in content
scuh as MS Word documents or web pages. They take you straigth to the information you seek.
The system is clear, comprehensive, and easy to administer. Set
authorship, publication and expiry schedules, and stack future versions
while retaining all past versions with their review and approval
cycles; this ensures you can deliver the right information, to the
right people, at the right time.
