Why better than eDoc?
Compare current company databases,
and identify the gap for our needs
eDOC is an eTRF / eTP tool
TP is one type of KM output, KM > eDOC
need to consider user interfaces that sit
on top of eDOC (e.g NAV, Intergator for
National Deviations)
eDoc's output is not flexible
Same set of data for different output > cannot accommodate the needs for different purposes (differs in content level, display of data, formats).
Difficulties
Man-power and time to build in data
Budget $$
Add-on features
Project management tools?
Reporting tool - enquiry statistics? team capacity?
Automation? e.g. link to chemical inventory
Closest thing to a KM database?
C2P + data analysis tool (e.g. Power bi or CDMS) + Diigo
