Each of our plans includes a clear KM Business Case and associated Return on Investment (ROI).

After laying the foundations of Knowledge Management, including taxonomy design, content strategy, and KM organization development, our Search Design, Content Architecture and Implementation Services ensure an organization can find and discover all of their content and data in an integrated fashion. We help organizations choose the right search solutions and define agile implementation plans to integrate with their various content and data stores over an achievable timeframe, while designing search interfaces to engage the user and meet their business needs.

No organization can be successful in the Knowledge Management goals without mastering their content and data. Our content strategy approach defines comprehensive content governance, content type and templating, and content metadata and tagging in order to ensuring the right information is captured in the appropriate format, maintained in a way that introduces the lowest administrative burden, and presented in a way that is best for the end users. Our proven methodologies and supporting technologies also guide major content cleanup and migration challenges.
Any meaningful Knowledge Management transformation will require a directed change management effort.

We can help your organization develop a plan, or move all the way through the steps to implement a plan.
