”To know or not to know” – Take control of internal knowledge
23. February 2023
Publish your intranet news to the digital bulletin boards straight from the intranet and make sure that all employees can stay up to date
In a time where we can work from anywhere and at anytime it is more important than ever to have access to the right information at the right time. But in an organization using many different tools and platforms it can be hard to ensure a best practice for employees, that enables them to find the necessary information. This challenge is magnified by the modern hybrid workplace, where Microsoft 365 makes it easier to work efficiently, but harder to ensure knowledge sharing and best practice.
As a manager it can be hard to ensure that knowledge is available at every branch of the organization and as an employee its equally challenging to find the necessary information at the right time.
The solution is a knowledge management portal.
IT Development or a ready-made product – what to choose?
In order to create a robust and unified practice when it comes to knowledge management portals in Microsoft 365, it is necessary to establish a common guide and governance on the available platforms. But to create a structured and qualified knowledge management portal requires adaptations and organizational implementation. Both highly demanding disciplines.
The choice between internal IT development and a ready-made product is a choice that needs to happen internally in the organization. You need to decide if there is even enough internal IT capacity to develop and maintain a solution or if you would rather rely on an experienced supplier with an annual license plan.
Both choices come with their own advantages and disadvantages and its important to pick the solution that is best suited for the needs of the company.
