Accessing and Repurposing the Knowledge within the Enterprise

As organizations grow in size and complexity, it becomes increasingly important to tap into the knowledge and resources of the employees working within them. Many companies have recognized the need for Business Intelligence systems that provide increased access to data running through the organization, but these systems do not tap into the professional skills and expertise of employees themselves.

Now companies are turning to an even more critical asset, Employee Intelligence, and the knowledge of the many information workers scattered across business unit silos throughout the enterprise. This, in turn, has lead to the creation of communities of practice – interest groups within the organization that share information.

ExpertShare is an Employee Knowledge Network application allowing employees to capitalize on existing knowledge resources and specialist expertise within the enterprise. Reducing redundancies throughout the organization, ExpertShare, ask an expert features, provides an access point for employees into a web of knowledge and documents critical to increasing productivity and completing tasks. The goal of ExpertShare is to break down the information silos that exist between business units and to provide a facilitation vehicle for employees to help one another and share mission-critical information and knowledge.
