What is Knowledge Management for?
Digital knowledge management is indispensable for modern companies: The systematic handling of knowledge is often decisive for success in competition. With the help of efficient knowledge management, processes in industry can be mapped, controlled, planned, and optimized. In addition, knowledge management makes a significant contribution to ensuring internal production quality standards and good work performance in day-to-day production.
Potential & Benefits of
Knowledge Management in the Company
The consolidation and evaluation of valuable information from a company’s own production and the expertise of its staff and specialists is worth more to a modern company than pure capital, money, or assets.
Through knowledge management and the individual evaluation of available data, a company can analyze and optimize business processes as well as sustainably improve its own market opportunities.
The question is: How exactly does one make use of one’s own flood of data? In addition to a suitable data strategy and an elaborate data architecture, this usually requires a broad spectrum of knowledge, the basis of which can be provided by experienced employees and experts from the respective specialist areas.
Combined in a strategy, digital technologies and the right knowledge management software offer enormous potential for Industry 4.0.
Knowledge Management with qbilon GmbH
qbilon GmbH offers a SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) platform for the automatic capture and optimization of hybrid IT landscapes. This platform brings together information originating, for example, from cloud platforms, virtualization software, DevOps tools or integration solutions such as Orchestra into a comprehensive IT map. In short: Qbilon offers a platform on which data is bundled and evaluated.
IT decision-makers gain valuable insights into their IT assets and their dependencies through such knowledge management software. In this way, the Smart Factory can greatly reduce IT costs incurred, quickly identify reasons for failures and significantly relieve IT staff through automatic documentation.
What is to be achieved with Knowledge Management? Benefits of Knowledge-Managements
In cooperation with soffico GmbH and their industrial software, qbilon can realize the processing of dependencies on different abstraction levels. The resulting cross-scenario processing of data enables the calculation of indirect dependencies across events.
Information and data flows can be represented explicitly
In addition, information provided by Orchestra Middleware can be supplemented with external data on the IT infrastructure, various applications and responsibilities, as well as products or services. The benefits of digital knowledge management with Orchestra summarized:
Highlighting indirect dependencies across Orchestra services and signals
