Corporate Knowledge is a Corporate Asset Your corporate knowledge is a precious commodity and should be treated as such. Its supply is abundant, but the ability to capture and use it is scarce. How will you replace the tacit or tribal knowledge of those key, job-critical employees when you have employee turnover? It’s not even when you have employee turnover that makes this problem critical. The inability to proactively capture, retain and make actionable the constantly evolving knowledge within an organization creates a critical problem with enormous negative consequences, which result in lower productivity, corporate security, efficiency, revenue and market value.

6 Benefits of Moving to a Paperless Shop Floor Manufacturing organizations too are beginning to recognize the value that eliminating paper and moving to digital systems can deliver. Particularly when you consider the dynamic nature of a shop floor and the number of stakeholders that need to collaborate and share information to be successful, the improvements that paperless manufacturing can deliver extend to several operational areas and have the potential to fundamentally transform operations. And many of today's shop-floor systems, including Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), Document Management applications, and more focused point solutions such as Electronic Work Instruction (EWI) applications are delivering value to organizations in a number of different ways.
