ANTWERP, AMSTERDAM, LONDON - June 07, 2001 - Which is best? Brokered search or harvesting when you need to find information from different document and databases? KM-Informer dedicates a short series of editorials to this KM-related problem.Microsoft announced Sharepoint, its portal that receives less than positive reviews from the major analysts.As always, both the articles and analysts' quotes are available as freely downloadable, copyright-free editorial from KM-Informer.Starting today, KM-Informer is guest to its sister-publication's (IT-Enquirer) forum section. IT-Enquirer now contains a forum section where visitors will be able to discuss the topics covered on KM-Informer and IT-Enquirer with peers and occasionally with professionals from the vendor community.Currently, the two forums that have been opened (starting June 12) are moderated by the publisher. When a forum delivering interview-capabilities and information exchange with vendors opens, registered users of IT-Enquirer will receive an announcement upfront for these limited-time opportunities to talk with the people who develop the products and services.------About KM-Informer and its publisher, Erik Vlietinck, Ll.D.Erik Vlietinck is a Belgian and a dr. of Law, currently dividing his time between Belgium, Holland and the UK. He has been writing about information technology as a freelance for over 6 years now. He has built an expertise in a limited number of technologies, which he covers on IT-Enquirer and KM-Informer.IT-Enquirer is Erik's attempt to help others in his line of business get their work done more efficiently and within shorter time periods. Background articles and technical briefs often require much research which--even with the Internet as a help--take a lot of time and effort. Erik hopes his initiative will help his colleagues take off more rapidly, resulting in faster turnaround. He believes he can especially help his freelance colleagues with this service.Both IT-Enquirer and KM-Informer are also valuable knowledge bases for IT-managers and -directors who wish to assimilate information on technology in an easily digested form.
