FREMONT, Calif. - Aug. 19, 2009 - eTouch SamePage, a dynamic enterprise wiki, today announced it has published a case study based on the evaluation of knowledge-management technologies by the Student Affairs Information & Technology Services (SAITS) within the Division of Student Affairs at California State Polytechnic University Pomona (Cal Poly Pomona).
Highlights of the case study include:- SAITS evaluated a number of technology options for its knowledge management needs, including Microsoft Word, CMS systems and open-source wikis.
- Word documents and CMS systems are not the answer for dynamic content management and collaboration, where there is a need for multiple contributors, interconnected and searchable content; as well as both public and private access to information.
- The SAITS evaluation team determined that wikis, by their very nature, offer a collaborative environment to build content, as well as supporting the critical search, linking and information accessibility that were key elements in compiling and sharing the department's knowledge.
- One member of the SAITS team had the wiki up and running in 24 hours. No team training was necessary.
