Move beyond the Document Library. Knowledge and the use of knowledge can be so much more robust and valuable. With Knowledge Pool for SharePoint 2010, each knowledge article can be a rich, multi-media item for text, pictures, multiple documents, links, cross-references and videos. Further, every article evolves driven by robust collaboration. Your community of knowledge users can comment, rate, enhance with new files and perform peer reviews – all helping to improve the knowledge and stack rank it to help others.

It’s about visibility. Knowledge that no one knows about or uses is worth nothing. Knowledge Pool makes information visible and puts knowledge at the fingertips of users. New contributions and collaborative activity feed into the Cim Activity Stream allowing users to consume and collaborate from wherever they are working. One click to access an article. Another to access the full Knowledge Pool listing where users can leverage search, groups, tags, and filters to find just what they need. Visibility, convenience and collaboration drive up the value of your knowledge.

Knowledge Pool can be applied to all kinds of scenarios. In the attached screenshots we look at a Knowledge Pool for the IT Department. You can start by asking questions or posting challenges. Quickly post responses or raw knowledge, collaboratively improve knowledge, and, post new finished knowledge. Your use could be for department knowledge sharing, support scenarios, specific information resources such as marketing collateral or engineering specifications, or, softer knowledge such as best practices, quality process management, or, field sales or marketing situational assessments.
