Knowledge Management Systems

I can best relate the concept of knowledge management systems to the article Just In Time Comes to Knowledge Managment. This concept is simply having access to documents, information and credible sources at your fingertips. The more I thought about this type of technology being in hospitals the more I was trying to think of where else this technology would be at. It could be here at MTSU where everything is turning to the computer database. When you call MTSU with a question everything can pretty much be found on the web site or a certain database that employees have access to. They have access to requirements for certain programs, transcripts and scholarship information just to name a few. Back in the day certain things were only done with pen and paper so technology is truly evolving in the name of business.

I believe that banks use knowledge management too. All bank accounts, laws and certain types of information they need for opening accounts for example, can all be found on certain databases in their systems. Car dealerships use technology in looking up features of models of cars and searching the history of a specific car. Everyone needs to realize that essentially over time just about everything will be on the computer and it may come to the point where all types of information, public or private, can be viewed.
