IN-PLANTS: Tomorrow’s Knowledge Managers?

Information Storage and Retrieval
Central to the concept of Knowledge Management is the issue of information storage and retrieval. The design and functionality of these activities can impact how quickly the organization may leverage its knowledge assets.

Historically, trained professionals within specialized units manage an organization’s critical information systems. We know these units as information systems groups, data centers or similar terms. Meaningful alliances need to be established between these teams and the in-plant, since often these units are charged with the development and deployment of organization-wide Knowledge Management systems. Their knowledge of document workflow and critical document processes is essential to the tight integration of the in-plant’s on-demand printing capabilities.
