Presentation of the knowledge base
Functioning
The knowledge base (or wiki) is a collection of articles written in a collaborative way. Each article can be attached to several themes and tags. The traditional hierarchical data structure (folder/subfolder) is abandoned to move to an organization based on structured data..
Objectives and benefits
One of the aim of the base is to free users from the mass of mails exchanged between colleagues and to communicate directly on an unique platform so that they lose no time with knowledge scattered between multiple supports – emails, office documents.
In addition, gathering knowledge on an unique platform allows you to compare to detect the missing information, contradictory or obsolete.
