Requirement for Knowledge Management System

Knowledge Management (KM), defined as the creation and application of new knowledge, is becoming a good source of competitive advantage. Employee innovation is increased by the development and sharing of knowledge. Failure to implement a knowledge management system for the organization is a major concern for the management information system society. With the drive for necessary attention to this issue, this paper intends to provide the means of implementing knowledge management system. The success of this implementation would come from the reduction of loss of critical information and improvement of data retrieval. This paper would also guide the implementation principles and review the implementation process in a step-by-step approach. This paper investigates the knowledge management implementation system requirements in various manners. The investigation covers the ways of devising the implementation system for information sorted by definition, requirements, and implementation. The source definition and data retrieval process is also investigated. This paper would consider the cooperation of the knowledge workers as one of the important aspect of the implementation. In addition to these, the importance of centralization in storage and retrieval process for necessary information is also included in the scope of this paper. The ways of eliminating loss of knowledge when the skilled workers leave or retire is also a subject matter of this paper. The contribution of this paper goes to more clarification of knowledge management system implementation.
