Knowledge Exchange is the first web-based server application that enables you to manage your business models and objects in a collaborative environment across the internet. Knowledge Exchange's innovative technology allows business and systems analysts to build, manage, update and communicate business and system models across a wide-area network, enabling globally-distributed teams to work together under a common, model-based view of their enterprise. Its multi-user, remote-access web server provides real-time model development against a shared repository within Metastorm ProVision. Knowledge Exchange makes key intellectual capital readily available and easily accessible via Metastorm ProVision’s web-based architecture.

The Advantage of Knowledge Exchange
Knowledge Exchange was created to meet the demand for greater business agility. Business models and operational knowledge no longer have to sit in the hands of a few business or IT people -- with Knowledge Exchange they become a key asset of the entire company. Knowledge Exchange empowers distributed teams to dynamically refine business processes and systems in response to rapidly changing requirements. Anyone can manage, communicate and distribute business knowledge and models anywhere at anytime.

The key features of Knowledge Exchange are:

Web-based Repository
Metastorm ProVision includes a distributed server solution called Knowledge Exchange. With Knowledge Exchange, business and IT professionals can manage business models and objects remotely across the internet. Your Metastorm ProVision business models and objects can be stored on a remote server and accessed via the web. This means that you can view and manage the contents of your notebooks from any location, providing a true global development environment.

Enterprise Viewing and Sharing
With Knowledge Exchange enterprises communicate their business and system information at the speed of the internet. You can launch models and view their objects, attachments, and other entities. You can add notes and comments to the models and their components, being able to review them over the internet provides your development team with a powerful communication tool. And because your team members likely work at various times and in different locations, the ability to view shared information becomes more practical and important to the success of your development venture. All you need is a standard internet browser!

Model Warehouse
With Knowledge Exchange Model Warehouse, you can extract Knowledge Exchange notebooks to a relational database. The Model Warehouse's control panel displays the current notebooks in your repository. From there, you can select the notebooks you want to extract, and determine their destination database. You can also view the extract services that are already running.
