KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

INTRODUCTION

Many companies reported to success with the introduction of Knowledge Management Systems into their project environment. By the introduction of KMS, the organization will run efficiently and effectively. The workers of organisation has to be able to choose what is effective concept to the organization that can be able to create a language and process some techniques and tools that are appropriate to the organization(Fleming, 1995).

WHAT IT IS

Knowledge Management Systems provides knowledge sharing, knowledge enhancing and knowledge preserving (Fleming, 1996). It deals with multiple activities of an organization. It also supports knowledge sharing networks and issues like training programs and operating manuals. The members had pursued the way of adapting a new system to support themselves in the field of what the people of organization are really trying to accomplish (Borghoff, 1997).

KMS can also be used for a wide range of cooperative, collaborative, hierarchy communities, virtual organizations, societies and other virtual networks, to manage media contents and activities, interactions and work-flows purposes in projects, networks, departments, privileges, roles, participants and other active users in order to extract and generate new knowledge and to enhance.

MY PERSPECTIVE

Here I can come out through discussing one of my example that relates to an organization which has already introduced KMS for its effective growth. My chosen organization is English film industry Hollywood. The type of KMS introduced here is the technology with different modern aspects so called WEB 2.0. It includes all types of communication between the media and the audience. It acts like a barrier in utilizing all the sources and functions to the maximum.

As it came into discussion alone, the techniques and tools that are used for the achievement of initializing growth of the organization is by using blogging, online telecasting, visual diagramming reviews.

Blogging is done from the creation of the user where regular updates are being carried out. The reviews about the films and details about the upcoming releases are also posted in the related sites to create interest in the audience.

The online telecasting is one of the vastly used processes helpful for the industry which enables the users to reduce the time factor and difficulties by providing data through broadband. The live broadcast of the programs which enhances faster communication relates techniques similar to visual diagramming. This feature enables podcasting for the effective communication between user and server.

The Web 2.0 technology is itself the system that is introduced in the industry for its effective running using the social tools. By the introduction of these tools, it is found that the system has enhanced faster communication compared to earlier and also as every industry desires, like the reputation increases enormously.

CONCLUSION

So the multiple activities are carried out in organization because as organization process maturity, differentiation takes place through policies, standards and organizational structures (Hammer, 1996). The workers would be able to choose an effective concept to the organization and thus create techniques and tools that are appropriate to it. In this way, the system server improvement factor uses the advanced technologies and processes.

  1. Well done Deepak, nicely structured article.. but you should have supported some arguments with KM Scholars.

    Its good you talk about KM Systems, but isn’t it important for an organisation to have a KM Strategy before having a KM System..?

    Your article comes across to descriptive.. where is your critical analysis..?

    A lot room for improvements yet.
