Wikis in Enterprises
Buzzword Wiki Wiki best known thanks to Wikipedia Wikis are a popular buzzword at the moment Wiki as a synonym for glossaries or lexicons Wiki as a basis for Web 2.0
Wikis vs. Conventional Tools Conventional Tools (e.g. Microsoft Word) Easy to edit and format Structured approach Advanced system for reviewing changes Focus on layout and format No mistakes allowed The Wiki Method Everyone is an author and a specialist Information is shared and linked instantly Documents are embedded in sites and do not have to be opened Cross-document search capabilities Changes tracked for individual pages and roll back if necessary Simultaneous editing of content (each author writes their own chapter) Notifications and RSS feeds No time spent unnecessarily on formatting
Wikis in Enterprises Why use Wikis? On the fly editing ensures information remains up to date Greater feeling of ownership contributes to higher levels of motivation Why SharePoint Wikis? Seamless integration with existing systems Fast, WYSIWYG editing Customisable notifications PDF Export Robust version control and reviewing, workflows Semi-structured approach Sophisticated permissions management
Internet vs. Intranet Wiki Internet The content is decided upon mutually by the editors The amount of documentation and its detail depend on the interests and participation of the editors Everyone is an editor and a reader at the same time Intranet Standardisation is the key. The use of templates is encouraged. Exception: structure can/should in many cases by defined by the users Managers decide on clear guidelines and goals There is often a differentiation between authors and readers Participation is voluntary and is down to individual motivation Participation is part of the employee s job (how can they be motivated?)
