It can comprise a part (neither necessary nor sufficient) of a Knowledge Management initiative. The idea of a KM system is to enable employees to have ready access to the organization's documented base of facts, sources of information, and solutions. For example a typical claim justifying the creation of a KM system might run something like this: an engineer could know the metallurgical composition of an alloy that reduces sound in gear systems. Sharing this information organization wide can lead to more effective engine design and it could also lead to ideas for new or improved equipment. A KMS refers to a class of Information System that is applied to managing organizational knowledge. It is IT-based systems, developed to support and enhance the organizational processes of knowledge creation, storage/retrieval, transfer and application [7].It is important to keep in mind that IT is only one important aspect of a KMS, and it also relies on human skills for success. Computers merely organize what the skills are and where in the company they may be found; simply having a KMS does not alone ensure success.
