KNOWLEDGE ENABLING SOFTWARE SYSTEMS

· Contrary to what some vendors would like you to believe, KM does not come shrink-wrapped in a box. 

· Yet almost all serious knowledge-based innovation today is increasingly enabled by software tools which we can think of as tools with "congealed knowledge and process smarts".  So we like to talk about "knowledge enabling software systems"

· Like any competent carpenter we need to have available in our KM tool chest, a variety of powerful tools which we can potentially use to help us deliver cost effective, efficient, and quality results. 

· Smarter tools, used skillfully in the right context , can really move us ahead.

· In the knowledge-based economy, understanding what software tools can be harnessed to leverage knowledge resources can be of tremendous value. Especially if you have an appropriate context in which you take full advantage of this knowledge.

· Here then is our market segmentation model for the knowledge enabling software market-space.
