Knowledge Management Tool
Knowledge management tool streamlines information
To compete in a global marketplace in the information age, you have to manage data well. It's not enough to accumulate information – you must be able to manipulate it to meet your business objectives. But many organizations today are overwhelmed by information. As data is generated by internal sources and information streams into the enterprise from external sources, many companies find it difficult to get the right information to the right people at the right time. Without a quality knowledge management tool, these organizations find that information becomes a burden rather than a competitive differentiator. But when a superior tool such as a taxonomy is deployed, management of information becomes easy, and knowledge becomes a vital asset. If you're interested in how your company can effectively deploy a taxonomy as a knowledge management tool, Dow Jones Client Solutions has the answers.
Taxonomy Warehouse, sponsored by Dow Jones, delivers powerful knowledge management tool

In addition to free resources such as white papers, webcasts, and planning tools, Taxonomy Warehouse is your source for more than 660 pre-existing taxonomies and vocabularies that you can license for use within your business. Building your own taxonomy is an option, but it's an expensive one and requires significant time and expertise. Appropriating an existing taxonomy and customizing it for the needs of your business is a quicker and easier alternative – it lets you reap the benefits of someone else's knowledge. Taxonomy Warehouse offers taxonomies in 39 languages covering 73 subject domains. So whether you need an agricultural communications thesaurus, a project management taxonomy or a physics and astronomy classification scheme, Taxonomy Warehouse is the place to find it.
Get a tool for superior management of critical knowledge
When you deploy a taxonomy as a knowledge management tool, your company will benefit in several powerful ways. By establishing an information hierarchy that is logical, comprehensive and pervasive throughout the organization, you allow your employees to store information more easily and retrieve it more quickly. You give them the power to navigate and search easily through complex data assets. You enable them to share information efficiently between departments, since every division uses and labels information in the same way. And you minimize waste by eliminating redundancy in data, as well as in the systems required to store and manipulate it.
