Cap Gemini, one of the world`s largest IT services and business consultancies, has chosen Dataware Technologies` Dataware II Knowledge Query Server to reap the wealth of knowledge residing in the company`s globally dispersed intranet systems.
The Cap Gemini enterprise Knowledge Management deal is worth $285 000. "Cap Gemini was founded on principles of achievement and business excellence, so it`s very important that staff be able to leverage best practices throughout our global organization," says Ian Lundberg, IT director for Cap Gemini. "We have 38 000 worldwide employees and each one has access to one of six regional intranets. To leverage this vast knowledge throughout the company, we looked for a product that could serve as a link between our regional intranets, our global intranet, and the Internet and rapidly fulfil requests for information from anywhere in the world. We selected Dataware`s Knowledge Query Server because it quickly turns requests for data into information which can be leveraged as knowledge. This is a strong, bottomline business advantage for Cap Gemini."
The Dataware II Knowledge Query Server is a powerful, browser-based search tool which provides a single point of access to multiple enterprise information sources, including information repositories, newsfeeds, document management systems, intranets, extranets and the Internet.
Companies can tailor Knowledge Query Server applications to search only the resources they need - an internal Lotus Notes database, an external subscription service and selected Web search engines, for example. With just one query, employees get a single, merged, prioritised list of results - saving untold amounts of time while ensuring they find only the most pertinent information.
Dataware knowledge management solutions are distributed in South Africa by Software Futures.
