SharePoint Knowledge Management
SharePoint knowledge management software can streamline gathering, storing, sharing, and analyzing your org’s knowledge assets.
With 17-year experience in SharePoint, ScienceSoft builds robust knowledge management solutions to help orgs with steady growth and efficient use of corporate knowledge.
Our Approach to SharePoint Knowledge Management
Delivering knowledge management solutions, we rely on theoretical backgrounds laid by KM researchers and practitioners, such as Nonaka, Takeuchi, Davenport, Drucker, etc. Drawing ideas from the knowledge science, we elaborated our proprietary knowledge management framework that covers a variety of knowledge management aspects, including knowledge elicitation, externalization, distribution and maintenance.
At the same time, we advocate practical knowledge management that brings real benefits to an enterprise. We stay loyal to SharePoint and Office 365 as powerful enterprise collaboration platforms to apply theoretical concepts in real business environment. We leverage the platforms’ native capabilities and extend them with custom features to enable effective knowledge management within both on-premises and cloud deployments.

Our SharePoint Knowledge Management Solutions
We design, deploy and help to adopt a variety of knowledge management solutions and tools.
SharePoint wiki
- We tailor out-of-the-box SharePoint wiki page libraries that enable organizations to collect corporate knowledge, structure it and make it easily searchable and reusable.
- We adjust a SharePoint wiki to the customer’s needs enabling their employees to create a SharePoint knowledge base or an encyclopedia, to capture innovative ideas and to carry out brainstorming sessions.
- We set up custom metadata and indexing mechanisms to let users filter and find relevant knowledge items in a few clicks.
SharePoint knowledge management site

To enable that, we fill traditional SharePoint sites with thematic blogs and forums, discussion boards and chats, knowledge libraries and FAQ zones that support effortless knowledge sharing and use.
- We create SharePoint knowledge management sites for teams to accumulate specific knowledge on projects they work on, as well as deliver public knowledge management sites to ensure free knowledge circulation throughout the company.
SharePoint knowledge management portal

How We Address Common Knowledge Management Challenges
Poor knowledge use
When organization knowledge is hard to find and use, this results in complicated workflows, inconsistent business processes and employees’ poor performance, as they tend to rely on their individual knowledge only.
Deficient knowledge sharing
When employees aren’t eager to share their valuable tacit and explicit knowledge, it gets segregated. Usually, there are several groups of knowledge owners who don’t collaborate and keep their unique knowledge to themselves.
Loss of valuable knowledge
When an employee with very specific and valuable knowledge leaves the company, this can result in massive knowledge loss.
Knowledge stagnation
When an organization doesn’t control how adequate its knowledge is, the knowledge becomes outdated, which leads to business problems and internal conflicts.
