The web offers a superb means of storing and distributing organisational knowledge and information.

However unless businesses use refined publishing procedures, websites can become a conglomeration of content – quite often a mixture of Word documents and PDFs – rather than a searchable library of knowledge. Material which is written consistently, which is easy to search and is capable of being electronically archived and readily updated, enables optimal access to, and use of, knowledge. It makes commercial sense to facilitate this by converting new or existing material professionally through a content management system (CMS) as knowledge is too valuable to a business for its publishing not to be treated in a professional manner.

Using Echelon’s CMS to manage a business’s intellectual property is an attractive option for organisations wishing to maximize the value of their own intranet for distributing and archiving knowledge. It is a vital cog in promoting a business’s performance!
