Consulting

Many consulting organizations use document management-based systems for knowledge management and rely heavily on email. While informal collaboration networks exist, conversations largely tend to be project-related. Consulting professionals also tend to work for extended periods at client locations. The knowledge gained on consulting engagements continues to reside on the client’s collaboration networks and is unavailable to the organization to leverage.

Qontext acknowledges the critical needs that consulting companies look to address:

• Use a method-based framework to offer client solutions
• Improve the quality of consulting solutions through better internal-sharing of Intellectual Property (IP)
• Reduce costs by improving the reusability of proposals, solutions, and assets
• Encourage firm-wide collaboration to bring out the best ideas and solutions to consulting problems

Qontext is designed to enable workplace collaboration, knowledge sharing and management. Use Qontext to:

• Collectively identify best-in-class assets and methods through social rating (voting, tagging, like etc.) and bookmarking
• Securely extend the collaboration environment to consultants, contractors and even client individuals and teams
• Standardize contribution to the knowledge repository using templates
• Enable “transactional collaboration” capabilities within collaborating communities (using wikis, doc share, versioning, search etc.)
