The program’s nine targeted outcomes included improving the management of corporate knowledge assets; harnessing employee knowledge to ensure best practices for customer engagements; providing useful metadata/taxonomy for accurate search results of artifacts; creating a rich online environment to build employee community; integrating core business application systems to improve operational efficiencies; centralizing reporting to give employees access to key business intelligence; reducing the cost of operations among departments; removing paper-based processes and replacing them with online forms and workflow; and sharing intellectual capital to make the organization more efficient.
