Time and effort put in to training can easily be lost without sufficient follow-up to provide employees with an easy way to retrieve reference material when the need arises. Often there is a time lapse between when training occurs and when employees need information. Employees may not need to apply the information until much later and then they cannot find the training material to recall all of the details. Ensuring that reference material is easily located is key to successful training and employee development.

KMx is ideal for storing training material either in native format documents or as attachments. Native format documents have complex search capabilities and are formatted specifically to communicate Title, Purpose, and Content. Exhibits and web links are inserted directly into documents. Inline links to other documents also provide flexible cross-referencing capabilities. Powerful tagging features allow logical grouping of documents and help to clarify connections between information.

The KMx architecture is designed to replace the traditional training manual and support an interactive training program. Document commenting, reviewing, version tracking, and suggestion features facilitate an organic growth of a reference manual one block at a time. Employee development is enhanced by a complete, organized company knowledgbase maintained in a workspace that also manages task assignments and time entries.

KMx tools create a culture of learning in your organization when users are able to build on the information disseminated at their own pace, when it is relevant to them. Instead of creating a stack of training materials that end up on the office bookshelf and often have to be re-created training materials become the core of the company knowledge base and facilitate the innovation of your organization.
