Enable your employees to discover the best expertise when they need it most.

When employees are blocked on tasks and need to leverage other employees' know-how, they require tools that enable them to discover and interact with the best expertise in the most efficient way. Knowledge Seeker Services provide the needed capabilities to make this happen.

Knowledge Seeker Services have been designed so that they closely integrate with the application employees currently use to share information- email. Through Seeker Services, employees can post questions to AskMe Enterprise from e-mail, can perform searches through e-mail, and can receive responses and content in e-mail.

Through Knowledge Seeker Services, employees can ask questions, perform searches, and receive responses through e-mail. This ensures that the system conforms to existing means of communication.

Private Exchanges
Certain exchanges among employees, such as business-confidential revenue projections, should not be made available to the general employee pool. Private Exchanges allow an employee or the subject-matter-expert to mark a conversation as private, and prevent access to it.  Private conversations can only be viewed by the original participants.

The private feature enables the expertise network to cover sensitive information.
Employees can use the system to receive any type of answers, and the confidentiality of the content is preserved.
