When it comes to managing your consultancy’s knowledge assets, not all solutions are created equal. Many people tell us that they have SharePoint for their organisation - and while SharePoint is a great file storage system- it doesn’t help you truly use the knowledge & IP stored within.
This article will run through the major differences between Sharepoint and KnowPro.
<aside> 💡 Knowledge management system vs file storage system
A document/file storage system is a centralised place to store an organisation’s files. It provides a structured way to organize content and control access permissions. You’ll have heard of, and used popular solutions, like SharePoint, Google Drive or Dropbox. The focus is on securely storing and sharing documents.
A knowledge management system like KnowPro takes this a step further; they capture, organise and share an organisation’s collective knowledge and expertise. The goal is to make this knowledge easily discoverable and reusable to drive improvements across service-delivery, or specific business functions (like thought leadership, marketing or training).

Consultancies generate a wealth of knowledge with each client engagement - methodologies, deliverables, lessons learned, and more. But manually documenting & indexing this knowledge to future-proof it, is time-consuming.
KnowPro streamlines knowledge capture by automatically indexing and organizing project files. With minimal effort, teams can build a rich knowledge base as they work.
