The need for Knowledge Management:
Some of the most common reasons that makes having a knowledge management solution imperative:
- Volumes of unorganized unsearchable knowledge.
- Knowledge transfer is time consuming.
- Email overload due to knowledge transfer by email.
- Secure sharing of sensitive knowledge among limited people
- Loss of knowledge when people leave or hardware devices fail.
- Ongoing security and backup of knowledge.
