Knowledge Network for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 is a new technology designed to help business users quickly find key people who can help on specific projects. Users can identify connectors (people with connections to other people) to help them easily locate and better utilize expertise. Knowledge Network has two components, a client that runs on the local machine and a server that runs in the organization's infrastructure.
Privacy, please
With a product like this, questions about privacy will quickly pop up. With Knowledge Network, each business user controls their information, keywords, and contacts through the client. The Knowledge Network client automates the creation of the profile by running an analysis of the folders the user chooses to include from their local Microsoft Outlook data store.
After the local analysis is complete, the user sees a set of recommended keywords and contacts that they can review, decide which ones to share with whom, and approve the profile. Only then is the profile uploaded to the Knowledge Network server. It is important to point out that the Knowledge Network profiles stay inside the company's firewall, unlike Web-based social networking tools.

ADVISORAMA There is one piece of advice, in a life of study, which I think no one will object to; and that is, every now and then to be completely idle -- to do nothing at all. -- Sydney Smith |
