Proximity: Knowledge Management Solution

Designed to protect the intellectual property embodied within business and production processes, Proximity Knowledge Management Solution enables a world class manufacturer of glass products it to share its best practice manufacturing processes across plants and employees worldwide.

Protecting this knowledge is vitally important, but all too often, business and production knowledge is fragmented and undocumented. In times of stress arising from adverse economic climates and restructuring, protecting knowledge and intellectual capital becomes even more critical.

Proximity is a complete solution that provides a single repository for knowledge capital and IPR, storing information and documents in diverse forms as word processor, spreadsheet, presentation, illustrations, animations and video. Knowledge can be distributed locally across departments, sites, and internationally, through a website or intranet.

The result is that key knowledge is retained within your organisation, protecting intellectual property and in turn, market share.
