2. Document Management System
The Problem
Knowledge stored as word, ppt or pdf Documents under various Directory Structure.
Document Management System
Add new Documents under some other directory
Not sure if any one document is latest
Latest document doesn’t contain all information
Documents sorted alphabetically,
confused which to start & which is next
Codes & Design docs not in sync
Documents are inherently bulky

10. Maintain Knowledge
Upload suitable Process diagrams at each node along with brief description
Drill down or up & navigate
Add / View Process Documents

11. Drilldown tree structure with guided Navigation
Allows to focus on a subset of knowledge only, in detail
You can’t do this in Windows explorer kind of environment.
All the directories appear there always & you need to drill up or down one at a time.
Here you can choose view all or a sub-set with one click

13. Secured Data access based on role & responsibility
Security
Roles
Create roles according to organization positions
Then create responsibilities
Responsibilities
Give Knowledge access to Responsibilities
Assign responsibilities to role
Users
Assign roles to users
Assign a set of IT Systems to a Responsibility

14. Integrated Approval Workflow for Knowledge units created by employees
Knowledge Approval
Once the logic tree is auto generated & all DFDs are uploaded, send to the System owner for approval

15. Single Point of Truth Bugs & Enhancements
Once a bug is found on any functionality, Create & upload Bug related SDLC documents
Change all the affected DFDs which got modified to fix this Bug.
The Logic tree always remains up to date..
