Create Your Own Yahoo with a Corporate Portal
 
  By Glenn Morris, 7/1/99

We all know Yahoo.com. This Internet site acts as a common portal to a wide variety of web information. Your company can have its own Yahoo by developing a “corporate portal.” Your people can save time, speed development, and shorten sales cycles by having a single point of access to valuable information.

There is common consensus that we have evolved into a knowledge economy where managing intellectual assets is as important as physical and capital holdings. Desktop computers allow us to generate a huge amount of information in diverse formats and locations.

These files contain corporate and depart-mental knowledge – knowledge that can improve customer service, allow employees to learn an application, or encourage consumers to purchase a product.

A corporate portal can take the form of an intranet/extranet or an online reference system accessed over a network. This central repository acts as a single window for reaching information created in varied formats and stored in different locations.

A simple knowledge repository might contain:

• policies and procedures
• benefits information
• up-to-date information on company initiatives
• marketing material
• frequently asked questions
• meeting schedules
• daily industry updates

Documentation Strategies can help your organization analyze solutions for a corporate portal, organize your existing information and manage the growth of your knowledge base.

Call us today to start your company’s Yahoo. Documentation Strategies, Inc. can’t promise your stock will go through the roof, but we can help you create and manage the vital information that keeps you efficient and competitive.

Morris is a knowledge management consultant.
