Cost-Effective Corporate Knowledge Management /
Business Package for Confluence Wiki
IT service provider HLP (Eschborn, Germany) has cooperated with the Australian software company Atlassian to integrate the renowned Wiki "Atlassian Confluence” with the SAP Netweaver Portal. The new business package has been certified by SAP and is now available for 20,000 Euro.
Implementing knowledge management with the corporate SAP Netweaver Portal has just become easier and faster - that is the promise of the new solution according to the forces behind the cooperation of Atlassian in Sydney, Australia, and HLP in Eschborn, Germany. The application is based on Confluence Wiki, known and appreciated by SAP developers around the world as part of the SAP Developer Network (sdn.sap.com/wiki). This Wiki that provides the platform for the collaborative publication of corporate information has been integrated seamlessly for use in any SAP NetWeaver Portal installation.
"Whether you want to set up a corporate encyclopedia or an instrument for strategic marketing, whether you need to document project and product management or complaints and quality issues - corporate Wikis are ideally suited for a wide range of use cases. The Business Package for Confluence Wiki supports any of these - or even several Wikis within one company," says HLP managing director Thorsten Heid.
Benefits of the Business Package for Confluence Wiki include
- Integration with the role-based navigation concept of the SAP NetWeaver Portal
- Uniform user administration via SAP NetWeaver Portal's User Management Engine (LDAP)
- Integration of the Portal/TREX search, incl. search results according to user rights
- Single Sign On using SAP logon tickets requires no additional logins or passwords
- Integration into the navigational structure of the SAP NetWeaver Portal by the Portal Content Directory
- Integration into the Portal Content Studio using convenient iView wizards
- Supply of parallel and independent Wiki instances in a single installation
- Multi-language support simply by switching the portal language
- Adapting the visual appearance by using SAP NetWeaver Portal themes (project individual customizing)
Corporate knowledge management has fast become a cornerstone of corporate IT strategies. The focus is on making information available to employees as quickly and conveniently as possible. The new solution addresses this essential demand as the great interest, not least by international corporations, has shown.
Says the Head of Knowledge Management at B. Braun Melsungen AG (Germany), Vera Schormann: "The comprehensive exchange of knowledge between employees is pivotal to our company. Wiki is the right strategy, and the ’Business Package for Confluence Wiki‘ offers the ideal solution for use in the SAP NetWeaver Portal!"
Accompanying the solution, HLP offers customized workshops and webinars about the benefits and use cases for corporate Wikis.
