Knowledge sharing and new business development in engineering consulting firms

: We analyze the concept and practice of Intranets used in midsize and large enterprises, focusing on their use and impact within research and development (R&D) organizations. We examine the shift from the old concept of business computing to the modern concept of enterprise computing, and consider Intranets-a class of enterprise computing-relative to enterprise computing trends. By analyzing in detail some case studies selected from the literature, on-site visits, and workshop discussions, we then offer three tools to frame the critical issues and provide structure for systematically constructing strategic Intranets specific to a given organization's mission and culture. Arguing that creation of an Intranet that projects an image of a world-class organization demands no less than a world-class enterprise that is strategically enabled through information technology, we then analyze the current U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) Intranet and present a three-step action plan to expedite ARL's movement toward creation of such an Intranet.

ARL Intranet Analysis and Development Study.

Two years ago, the IBM Systems Journal published an issue containing papers on the content and use of the IBM SanFranciscoTM product. Since that time we have seen changes: in the product, in how customers are using the product, and in the marketplace in general. This essay provides a brief review of some of these changes and introduces the papers in this issue related to the SanFrancisco theme.

IBM SanFrancisco: moving into the marketplace

Line-of-business applications and contact and activity management applications have developed independently of each other. To integrate the two aspects of business communications, we need certain information structures with specific behavior that can be used by developers building either kind of application. The San Francisco frameworks provide us with the opportunities to develop these common business frameworks and make them available to other application developers. A set of object classes is described that provide a base for knowledge applications for use with San Francisco.
