Morphix launches new Knowledge Management Solutions
Even with the deployment
of portals, intranets, document management systems and databases,
e-mail will remain a primary business communication and knowledge
transaction tool. MetaSight uniquely tracks emerging organisational
concepts and relationships by automatically analysing e-mail subject
titles and traffic patterns.
Two complementary tools are available, Communities
of Interest and Communities of Relationships. These new web applications
allow searches to be made for colleagues with particular interests
or external relationships. The tools work by automatically profiling
knowledge and relationships of every individual in an enterprise
from e-mail communications. These knowledge management applications
were previously offered as hosted solutions, but have recently been
packaged as a software product, MetaSight SMS (Self Managed Solution).
Mark Newman, CEO of Morphix, says, “We are
very excited about this latest development of MetaSight, the result
of a five-year programme of research and development into e-mail
communications within large organisations. This latest development
has drawn on our research findings and made them available as a
software product which can be implemented across a large organisation
in less than a day.”
A recent deployment of Communities of Interest
and Relationships has created an ability for one company to rapidly
locate expertise, knowledge and business relationships across 3,500
consultants based in the UK, Continental Europe, Scandinavia, North
America, Australia, Hong Kong, Africa and Malaysia. This single-server
MetaSight installation took just one day to setup and test. Each
day the system is processing information from around 100,000 e-mails
collected from 55 globally distributed servers, and dynamically
maintains a taxonomy from which expertise and relationships are
automatically profiled. (Private, personal and confidential e-mails
are automatically excluded).
Mark Newman concludes, “Knowing who knows
what, or who knows who, is very difficult in large, globally distributed
organisations. This particular installation has created a powerful
inter-personal networking and collaboration capability that instantly
operates across the organisation with zero user-effort or intervention”.
