The Knowledge Management Connection

The Knowledge Management Connection evaluates the core knowledge management requirements of large and small companies, associations, and government agencies and provides technology and implementation solutions based on advanced classification and retrieval.

The Knowledge Management Connection Advantage

• Focus on explicit, well-defined set of problems.

  Provides a strong business case for solving those problems -- a solution that has solid roots in knowledge organization and retrieval in library science, technology, and human communication in general

• Opens the opportunities for savings and competitive advantage to small and medium sized companies and departments within larger companies:
  • Affordable solutions that can fit into small budgets.
  • Low-risk standards-based solutions that allow you to choose best-of-breed technology and practices as they become available.
  • Immediate demonstration of return on investment; "pre-packaged" solutions lead to quick implementation; model supports concrete metrics.
• Meshes with existing, accepted business practices and objectives, including
  • Maintaining and improving effective content and access to content for Web sites, user documentation, and marketing communications.
  • Accelerating training and lowering training costs of new hires.
  • Providing explicit representation of the company's knowledge assets and competitive advantages -- a vital advantage,  especially in early fund-raising phases (Venture capitalists have proven that they often do not understand the technology and markets in which they invest. Now they are being more careful.)
  • Protecting intellectual assets from poaching by larger competitors.
  • Educating external audiences, including media and opinion makers
  • Supporting critical business partnerships
