Objectives of knowledge management

 4 
Resource booking. Viewing and making bookings of meeting rooms is another simple 
application that can save time.
 5 
News screen. Displaying the company’s latest news and most recent achievements on a 
dedicated screen can give a focal point to a waiting room or foyer area.
6 
Integrated external resources. Route planning, mapping or traffic news sites can be 
integrated into the intranet to save time for staff. One example of this is a housing 
authority that stores its list of properties on the intranet. Each house has a link to a 
mapping site (e.g. Multimap www.multimap.com), which will display the location of the 
property based on its postcode.
Intranets need to include a suitable technology to enable staff to create and manage their own 
content.
