Knowledge types

Knowledge is often grouped into two categories, tacit and explicit knowledge. Explicit knowledge is the kind found in documentation, reports and written procedures. Tacit knowledge or know-how comes as part of education, experience and personal networks.

Designed for knowledge sharing

PeerAware makes it possible to create connections between explicit and tacit information. It does so by making the information available in a searchable network, and by being able to ask the information owner questions related to his documents. The simplest way to make knowledge available is to openly share all information within a domain. By eliminating proprietary information and bringing employees together into one shared network, they can search, browse and discover information and learn more about what their co-workers specialize in.

Knowing who to ask, being able to discover who is sitting on the right information is something that can take years to understand in large organizations. Establishing a culture for sharing and spreading knowledge with PeerAware makes employees more productive in their daily job and companies less vulnerable to loss of key personnel.
