KNOWNOW - Simple Integration -- Go beyond the traditional boundaries of integration middleware and deliver information to the people who need it, when they need it.
Last week I briefed Charlie Wood on KnowNow's new Enterprise Syndication Server Product. I found Charlie's Moonwatcher blog with my subscription to PubSub. Charlie has been documenting interesting use cases for enterprise syndication in services and marketing.
Here is what Charlie had to say about the KnowNow Enterprise Syndication Server.

KM World awards KnowNow with the KM Promise Award. Writes Hugh McKeller about the meaning of the award:
"Many companies promise that their technology is the best knowledge management solution. One of the greatest challenges for organizations purchasing such technology is to determine which companies will deliver on that promise. This award is given to an organization that is delivering on its promise to customers by providing innovative technology solutions for implementing and integrating knowledge management practices into their business processes. The award-winning company demonstrates how it goes beyond simply delivering technology to working with clients to ensure that both the technology and knowledge processes are imbedded into the work processes. In other words, it helps organizations realize positive business results."

Bob Wyman notes the growth of syndication as a part of a corporations communication strategy and looks forward to the Syndicate Conference coming up in May.
We at KnowNow are pleased to find a forum such as this conference to further the discussion of corporate syndication. Over the last several months we have seen an increased use of syndication by our customers as part of their corporate communications strategy. Most of our customers are using KnowNow for simple integration to deliver critical corporate information such as inventory levels, pricing changes and fraud alerts directly to the people that can act on that information.
It turns out that our event driven technology is a great vehicle for the management and delivery of syndicated information. Our customers are realizing that syndication is an extremely effective way for corporations to communicate with all their constituents: employees, partners and customers.
In our conversation with Jon Udell we pointed out that we see the use of syndication not only for collaboration though blogs but also for the distribution of all kinds of stuff, including operational data.
In fact we see a world where all corporate communications will be syndicated. As Paul Kedrosky asks in his article Feeding Time, Harvard Business Review, June 2004, "What sort of information should companies syndicate? The better question is what sort shouldn't they syndicate?"
As I May Think...

Here is an article by Sarah Hawkins from TechSoup.org on how KnowNow has helped RAINN with software that allows abuse victims to chat anonymously with counselors directly from the RAINN home page. The solution requires no special software to be loaded.

Jon Udell's blog entry covering the KnowNow interview with him. Some interesting topics include:
The RSS bandwidth "crisis" (which I argue is mostly a red herring)
Enterprise control of information flow (I'm curmudgeonly on that point too)
Using a network of pub/sub topics to manage, reorganize, and share RSS information flows
RSS distribution of all kinds of stuff, including operational data
KnowNow's initiative to connect its event routing, event filtering, and realtime notification to the RSS ecosystem
