In the 21st century, companies that can move the fastest are going to have a distinct competitive edge. Whether they are product companies that need to get their product to market the fastest, or services companies that
must deliver the best client service in a timely manner, speed is of the
essence.

However, achieving a fast-moving organization that can deliver high quality products and services is no easy task.
Companies have for decades focused on the right blend of people, processes, and
technology to achieve this. The common goal that all these companies are trying
to achieve is culture: a knowledge sharing culture that enables the entire
organization to move in sync.

For most companies, several challenges remain in developing an effective knowledge sharing and innovative
culture:

Geographic & Cultural Differences
Silos of information
Difficulty in easily publishing information across teams and departments
Information Security
Baby Boomers vs. Gen Y differences

While the above list of challenges may appear daunting, many of these challenges are a result of legacy information systems that aren’t built for today’s knowledge worker. Fortunately, with the advent of new web-based
technologies and cloud computing, organizations of all sizes can obtain the
appropriate tools necessary to foster effective knowledge sharing across the
modern workplace.
