Break silos




Everybody is reading information, and is sharing it sometimes, somewhere, with some people, irregularly and inefficiently.
Organize


Besides, shared information is not structured and hard to find back.
Fluidify and filter




Finally, how can we feed collaborators with relevant information?
Collect                                          Enrich                                               Diffuse

Knowledge Plaza is a user-friendly collaboration platform allowing users to save information of various kinds and formats, organize and enrich them
collectively, and possibly redistribute this knowledge to other audiences – other collaborators, clients or partners. This platform is accessible via your favorite
Web browser.
First, there is you
And your colleagues
You and others are affiliated to a series of workspaces, which can be public or private.
In those workspaces, depending on your membership status, you can access, read, download, upload and share “Tiles”: documents, web pages, important
e-mails, contacts, ideas or even references to physical documents.
Those pieces of information can be tagged, rated, commented, monitored, searched (KP indexes in full-text), compiled or related, and even exported for
external use, printing or offline reading.
