Knowledge Aware / what is it?

Knowledge Aware is a fundamentally different approach to managing technical knowledge. It has been proven out and has become the most effective knowledge management strategy for technical environments.

It eliminates the need to sift through document repositories and databases in hopes of finding something useful. Instead, essential learnings and technical memory are provisioned directly into existing work-flows, giving engineers exactly what they need, when and where they need it, to make qualified and robust decisions. Promoting continuous in-context knowledge provision and influence makes your company’s existing work-flows knowledge ‘aware’– hence the name Knowledge Aware.

Knowledge Aware Benefits

Elimination of Recurring Mistakes

Past Knowledge can be used to help improve an outcome, or prevent repeated mistakes.

Improvement in Engineering Efficiency

Product Development and Manufacturing engineering cycle times can be reduced, increasing productivity.

Preservation and Sharing of Knowledge

Knowledge is efficiently, effectively, & continuously captured and shared.

Reduction in Engineering Variation

Costly variation across individuals, languages, and time for products and processes is reduced.

Reduction in the Enterprise IT Footprint

Existing tools and systems are unified, which significantly reduces the net IT footprint.

testimonials / what others say about the conference

This is author testimonial

“The application of knowledge is an important ingredient for enabling value-based information flow. Any human-dependent information and/or data networks subsist upon effective and knowledgable application. The inability to properly apply what information and data provides us can have a negative impact on an organization’s bottom line. At the Knowledge Aware Conference hosted by Auros, you can collaborate and network with peer companies while also learning how to apply knowledge into the flows of your work environment.”
