1. Content Repository
Tools that allow users to manage and share knowledge content. For many years the
dominant tool for knowledge management repositories was document management
software. Today, most firms prefer tools that can manage diverse content (e.g. documents,
web content, and social content). For example, Content Management Systems
(CMS), Enterprise Content Management (ECM) and Cloud Content Management (CCM).
2. Knowledge Search
A text search tool is often part of your content repository. For example, ECM usually has a
search tool. Search is a critical function that improves the value of your knowledge. All
search tools are not created equally. There's a big difference in the performance of search
solutions. Some firms invest in a search tool that can search across multiple sources of data
(e.g.your ECM and CRM).
3. Communication Tool
Tools that communicate knowledge and capture the knowledge generated by
communication. This may include a variety of tools such as email, chat, instant messaging,
telephone services (include VOIP), speech recognition, video conferencing and collaboration
tools (e.g. whiteboards). Unified communications (UC) tools integrate communications into a
single user experience.
4. Social Software
Tools that facilitate the socialization of knowledge. Social features are now commonly
included in core enterprise software such as customer relationship management
(CRM) and ERP.
5. Knowledge Visualization
Tools that are used to visually communicate knowledge. The vast majority of
business knowledge is communicated with static 2D representations such as
web pages and PowerPoint slides. There is great interest in dynamic,
exportable, 3D representations of knowledge. A plethora of knowledge
visualization tools have hit the market in recent years. The knowledge
visualization market is still in its infancy but tools are maturing rapidly.
6. Decision Support
Tools that seek knowledge in large volumes of data. For example, analytics and
reporting software that allows users to discover patterns of knowledge in data.
7. Big Data
Big data are a class of tools that store, manage and explore high velocity, variety and
volume data. Firms use big data technologies to find knowledge in high volumes of
structured (e.g. database tables) and unstructured data (e.g. documents, conversations).
9. Peer assist
Gaining input and insight from experts/other people outside the team to reuse and reapply
existing knowledge and experience.
