XWiki for Knowledge Workers

The Year of the Wiki

2005 has been named "The Year of the Wiki" by Google's ZeitGeist following the success of Wikipedia, the online collaborative encyclopedia which uses the Wiki principle.

There is no doubt that Wikis and Blogs have shaken the knowledge management and collaborative workspaces world. For years, companies have spent huge amount of money setting up content management system or heavily structured collaborative workspaces for workgroup collaboration. However, without heavy training and change management investments, these solutions have had limited successes and many users have sticked to email to exchange information, mainly through desktop software documents.

Today, many have acknowledged that Wikis and Blogs are cheaper solutions which give more freedom to users for building their own organization, and that these solutions are going mainstream. Gartner has predicted that 50% of corporation will adopt Wikis as mainstream collaboration tools by 2009.

Free your Knowledge

Members of groups hold the knowledge of these groups and unfortunately most of this knowledge is help in the prison of the email boxes, their disk drives, their documents but also of their brains.

XWiki will allow companies to free this knowledge by allowing users to easily and quickly share this knowledge as they work with the whole group. Thanks to the Wiki editing interface, shared information can be written in a shared wiki which is available 100% of the time and 100% of the people from anywhere in the company. These informations do not need to be help in the prison of documents and disk drive where it's very hard to find.
