-TCS has created communities of practices (CoPs) with an animator expert in an area of knowledge to gather best practice on different area of expertise using business case documenting problem and solution.
-Then TCS tried to capture technology, processes and case studies called Process Asset Libraries. So their intent was more on capturing structure data in the first wave.
-In the implementation of Ultimatix, TCS tried to use captures of intelligent technics or knowledge work system meaning knowledge tools like wizard, templates for software productivity improvement, knowledge training modules and information on tools.
* Knowledge storage
-Business cases with solutions. For example on mainframe around 1500 business cases.
-Process Asset library permit exchanges of around 10000 documents on industry practices and 21000 services practices in six month during 2003.
-Line of businesses, line of technology, and projects
TCS has disseminated knowledge by:
-Customizing for each are of practice/technology, customer and industries.
-Creating an initial training program and a continuous learning program for experience employees based on role and competence definition.
-Encouraging people to move and go outside TCS to learn and bring back knowledge.
-Using information letter per expert area and tip of day are used. *Marketing knowledge
-To create business related document. It can be retrieved by searching similar business case.
-To innovate and decide with a tool called TIP and IdeaStorm. The IdeaStorm process is in three steps one idea / question are submitted, people can brain storm on it and after vote.
-Just ask process to get direct access to experts
TCS has various Portals which permit a uniform access to knowledge. It can be accessed through queries or using taxonomies created by CoPs.
