Yakabod’s Knowledge Appliance

November 5, 2008

What do you think about having search, content management, social networking, and collaboration all in one secure software package appliance that deploys really quickly and is super-intuitive? Impossible, you say? Yakabod Inc. says otherwise. Its new appliance, Yakabox, is a knowledge management system (housed in a striking purple box, no less) that not only sorts, stores, and searched hard copy information, but also more ephemeral data such as opinions, experience, and brainstorming so you don’t have to rebuild the wheel. A graphic on the Yakabod site says: “Did you know that 40% of the documents U.S. workers create every day already exist?” Frightening. Yakabod markets Yakabox to fight these stumbling blocks: deployment time; security difficulties; integration problems; redundancy; and employee resistance. You can download several white papers here, and there’s a list of comparative options here.
