KM Technology Infrastructure and Hosting Services
Knowledge Management Technologies are information
technologies that can be used to facilitate knowledge management. Knowledge
Management Technologies are intrinsically no different from information
technologies, but they focused focus on knowledge management rather than
information processing.
Knowledge Management Technologies support knowledge
management platforms and systems and benefit from the knowledge management
infrastructure, especially the information technology infrastructure. KM
technologies constitute a key component of KM systems.
Through our dedicated DevOps Team, we stand ready to help
your organization develop Custom Technologies that support your KM Strategy:
such as artificial intelligence (AI) technologies including those used for
knowledge acquisition and case-based reasoning systems, electronic discussion
groups, computer-based simulations, databases, decision support systems,
enterprise resource planning systems, expert systems, management information
systems, expertise locator systems, Intranets, and information repositories
including best practices databases and lessons learned systems. KM technologies
also include the emergent Web 2.0 technologies that can be acquired from
technology vendors
Build your KM Strategy for Employees
Knowledge
Management Takes Time
Realistic implementation times for developing a
workable KM system range from a few months to years, depending on the
complexity of your processes that must be Analysed, Realized and Aligned,
the size of the company, the number of employees, and the managers
involved. Even in the most technologically challenging KM implementation, the
pace of corporate cultural change, not the availability of resources or
technology, is the rate-limiting step.
Investment Requirements Can Be Significant
Establishing and maintaining a KM program can be an
expensive proposition especially if the Strategic roadmap is underfunded
or budget is strictly capped. A KM system is an ongoing investment, not a
one-time expense. In designing a KM system, it’s generally easier to start from
scratch, however, A KM program should complement the existing business and
strengthen existing processes—not turn the company inside out, resulting in
processes optimized for Knowledge Management, rather than for employees who
execute them.
Extensive Training and Retraining May Be Required
Significant investment in employee and management
training is highly required if a KM program is to succeed. However, Participant
willingness without training in process and mechanisms typically results in
costly errors and inefficiencies. Most companies with successful KM programs
have strict employee and management training programs in place.
