Enterprise Knowledge Portals and Application Integration for supporting Collaboration
Marisol Wesson, President of TMS Americas Group
In the advent of emerging Internet technologies and unrelenting business challenges faced by enterprises today, the need to "e-enable" business processes in order to collect, manage and report critical company data in an efficient and transparent way, while streamlining workflow processes on an electronic platform, databases, and people - is now a vital competitive strategy for business growth and continuity.
While information reduces the risks associated with decisions that ultimately lead to a series of actions, too much information can sometimes be a disadvantage. The abundance of content, both inside and outside the enterprise, has made finding the right information increasingly difficult. Employees often spend more time looking for the right piece of information than actually using it, resulting in high frustration and low productivity. Further inefficiencies are found in the continued reliance on paper processes, manual approvals, and long transaction cycles.
The proliferation of heterogeneous and independent applications - such as ERP, supply chain management, and customer relationship management - has made integrating enterprise wide data increasingly difficult. The answer to critical business issues or customer enquiries must often be constructed from information residing in disparate customer relationship management, vendor and email systems - impeding the seamless flow of information needed for maximum efficiency. Unlike many portals, tmsEKP™ allows you to access disparate information in an integrated way - allowing you to spend time analyzing and using the information rather than searching for it.
tmsEKP™ (Enterprise Knowledge Portal) is designed to provide organizations with a single dashboard to integrate information, business applications and services from heterogeneous systems and sources so as to encourage collaboration, efficiency, informed decision making and employee self-service.
Serving as a single and unified gateway to a company's information and knowledge base for employees, shareholders, customers and vendors, tmsEKP™ enables enterprises to design and build a suite of modular solutions to allow seamless access to their organizational knowledge base (information) across the enterprise, enable information exchange as well as delivery of real-time and relevant information.
Marisol Wesson, President of TMS Americas Group, will share their quest to make of Knowledge Management (KM) an integrated process in which organizations improve their performance and generate value from their intellectual and knowledge-based assets through their human capital and technology. Through the development and implementation of TMS Enterprise Knowledge Portal technologies, knowledge is being shared with employees, departments and even other companies to derive best practices. KM is being effectively implemented through the application and enabling of technology.
