Information Architects Offer Knowledge Management Solutions

January 6, 2014

The Knowledge Management Depot blogged about a scenario anyone in IT, information management, or BI would recognize. The post entitled, “The Role Of The Information Architect” describes how when a knowledge management application is deployed and left to users to discover and implement, it is never used or poorly received. The end result leaves the project in a negative light and as a time and money waster. Often times this scenario can be avoided if the organization employs an information architect to take charge.

An information architect can be the bridge between the users and the knowledge management system. He or she can help the users adopt the new program and understand the value, rather than letting it rot. The post relates that a professional information architect takes responsibility for these tasks:

  • “Gather Requirements pertaining to the content and structure of the KM solution (SME’s and Users are heavily involved here)
  • Construct the Information Model (SME’s and Users are heavily involved here to further define and validate Content)
  • Instantiate Business Rules (depicted as relationships) onto the model (SME’s and Users are heavily involved here to further define and validate Content Relationships)
  • Develop the Taxonomy (categorizations of content (information & knowledge) for the KM Solution
  • SME’s and Users are heavily involved here
  • Card Sort exercise is often used to solidify the Content Categories and Taxonomy
  • Develops Standards for Content Assembly
  • Contributes to the development of the Style Guide for Content Delivery
  • Contributes to creating an authoring Environment that would leverage the Standards and Style Guide for Content”

The question may pop up is an information architect really necessary? Yes. Leaving users to adopt a new plan on their own without any guidance is a recipe for disaster. An information architect takes control and ensures success.

    Providers supplying the dedicated hosting servers experience greater cost versus the others with limited bandwidth and spending budget web host company.
    Also, you might want to consider the price plans and sorts
    of services that are on offer. For building websites like My – Space and You – Tube,
    you will need a dedicated hosting; most other
    websites requiree shared hosting.

  11. Top web hosting on March 16th, 2014 10:09 pm

    A  Some factors include but not limited to support availability,
    allocation of webb space, reliable bandwidth, content allowed to be published, and capability to handle traffic, access
    to database and server extensions, and email support.
    Find out if the web host of your choice will transfer domain names free,
    if you have already registered one and want to transfer it from another
    web hosting service provider. This is a very good question
    because of the fact that video has become such an important part of the Internet experience.

    I was curious if you ever thought of changing the layout of your site?

    Its very well written; I love what youve got to
    say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of
    content so people could connect with it better.
    Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 images.
    Maybe you could space it out better?
