| Abstract | Corporate portals try to capture knowledge, both tacit and explicit, that resides with
the employees. This research argues that one of the success criteria for corporate portals is
maintenance, or sustainable continuity after implementation. This depends on technical
factors such as the information infrastructure, as well as ability of the organizational
environment to create a caring environment for employees in which the sharing of knowledge
is motivated. These results are based on a study carried out during an internship at Infosys
Technologies, a large Indian IT company based in Bangalore. Although design and
implementation of a knowledge management system are imp01iant success factors, the
sustainability of a well set-up lrnowledge management system depends on how well it is, can
be maintained. Knowledge can be ve1y volatile, especially in a corporate environment,
lrnowledge is also represented in many ways, every person represents his or her lrnowledge on
his or her own 'personal ontology' and lrnowledge systems also have their own ways of
lrnowledge representation. Therefore, the ability to capture and recapture lrnowledge and to
enable the ability to share lrnowledge among employees (the lrnowledge workers) is of critical
importance. |
