As you know, the most difficult thing in knowledge management is not gathering the knowledge or setting up the basic systems, but building in user-persuasive processes for people to actually use them. Today, most organizations utilize shared drives - but not before long, these shared drives will only become a non-searchable information jungle, with uncategorized data, countless duplications, confusing directories, and maintenance nightmare. Eventually, you will find it impossible to find the right information, and the shared drive becomes nothing more than an extended data storage for your own works.

And Infotitan's service does exactly that - a search engine, a centralized database, peer feedback, credibility/expertise broadcasting, and an author-involved process of information categorization and updating.
