SAP Knowledge Management
Building Power Through Knowledge Organization- The amount of information in organizations is increasing exponentially, and much of it is unstructured – documents on department file servers, Web pages on subsidiary Web servers, e-mail, groupware, and slide presentations, to name just a few examples. These unstructured and often unmanaged resources contain mission-critical knowledge that companies need to maximize business advantage. The challenge is to transform that information into organizational knowledge – to bring it into the context of critical business processes.
The knowledge management capabilities of the SAP NetWeaver™ platform address this important challenge by structuring and classifying the entire spectrum of unstructured content, making it accessible to users and available for improving decision making. The SAP® Enterprise Portal (SAP EP) component of SAP NetWeaver delivers these knowledge management capabilities. SAP EP provides you with a configurable set of connectors, repositories, and services, including a full-featured search engine that makes all unstructured information accessible to users. Moreover, integration of such features with other capabilities of SAP NetWeaver creates a role-driven network of information, collaboration, analytics, and alert options across your organization.
