Electronic document management brought about enormous information stores in organizations. Yet many feel that the abundance of data fails to lead to the possession of knowledge. The latter exists in the hands of the employees, each in his or her area, but the difficulties arise creating and distributing knowledge across the whole enterprise.

Maximizing the existing potential requires creation of strong social ties between the employees. Improvement of knowledge flow and emergence of knowledge centers within the organization allows it to learn at a higher rate and thus achieve a competitive advantage in its market. The objective is to turn dry and useless information into vibrant and personal knowledge.

The theoretical model at the base of our solution is simple and intuitive. In any large data store new information can be extracted by using automatic tools. The same approach has a proven success record in the area of data warehousing.
