KnowNow, a leading provider of Enterprise 2.0 solutions, provides a publish and subscribe platform that allows users to specify the information they want delivered, when and where they want it, as it is published. KnowNow is the best way for people to manage the massive amount of information available to them, by giving them control of the information provided from multiple sources.
Simply put, there is too much information. The amount of manual labor that we as employees, partners, and customers must invest in finding information relevant to our needs diminishes our productivity and impacts process effectiveness.
How much time can we possibly spend searching through endless libraries of content for the information we need? Researchers have concluded that today's common tools are not helping to connect key stakeholders with critical information, and in many cases, are actually contributing to the information overload. With these limitations, what is the answer?
KnowNow believes the answer lies at the heart of Enterprise 2.0: the syndication of information.
The concept is pretty simple: syndication watches internal and/or external networks continuously to find new, relevant information, and helps people separate noise from the critical information. Imagine for a moment how your organization could operate if it’s most critical data were mobilized and connected with the appropriate employees the moment it was published. Business responsiveness would hit an all-time high. Critical business metrics would be blown away.
