Executive Summary
The firm has a range of policies and procedures, sales records and other information
kept in folders that are scattered throughout the facility. Other than the financial
management software my company uses, there are no digitized records, and the
employees are constantly referring to old templates, materials or policy documents
because there is no central repository.
1. Strengths:
- Train all employees to use the new management system, with further training
to be provided when required.
+ A set of practical workshops that ensure all skills are taught in three
half-day sessions. The practical sessions have a participant limit of 20.
2. Weaknesses:
- People are still using local copies of documents rather than downloading them
from the system. This results in some pieces of communication or information-
gathering tools being outdated. In order to improve this problem, they should
be provided an easy and simple access to any documentation, the templates
need to be available all the time so employees will easily have access to the
system and download stuff.
- No procedure for download or upload has actually been published yet. The
solution is as same as above, technical team need to provide a
policies/procedures to employees about how to download/upload documents
from/to the system.
- Most of the user information is stored on the internet, so if a user has difficulty
accessing the system, they will not be able to help themselves and must
contact the help desk. Therefore. the system provider must have a help desk
that employees are able to access in the event of difficulty.
- The system’s reporting capabilities are quite extensive, so you can generate
any report you need for your monitoring protocol. Creating a report template
and publishing the report template and a simple way to submit the report is a
solution for this issue.

Knowledge harnessing & sharing
Provide a notification function in the system that alerts users when a new version of
a document is uploaded and replaces the version currently in use. As mentioned
above, there are 57% of employees say there are multiple versions of the same
documents and also about 63% of employees still using the old template or
documents, the notification will inform the employees when the new version of
document is uploaded and replaces old ones, it contributes the easy access for who
wants the updated version.
- Purchase the necessary hardware instead of using the remote method will
meet the demand of management for the organisation to back up its system
on its own server
- Instant messaging
- Document transfer
- Screen sharing
After doing researches, there are two appropriate collaborative software that can
meet the demands.
1. SHARE WITH: Sharing instantly with one or more users so a window appears
