DrKWikipedia

Here you can find the study that was made at Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein about the installation of Socialtext wiki, internally branded as DrKWikipedia. It sits alongside a traditional intranet; B2Evolution blogs; the Microsoft Sharepoint collaboration and communication service; and the MindAlign instant messenger client. The aim was to allow users to swap instantaneously between different modes of communication, depending on which is most appropriate.

“We already had a wiki that was heavily used by IT, but we wanted to bring business people on board to enhance collaboration and communication between IT and the business. We wanted a platform for both groups, not something that’s used just by IT.”

Ross Mayfield, CEO and co-founder of Socialtext, writes:

“the case addresses ease of use and adoption issues that lead to wiki traffic outperforming the intranet within six months. Specific use cases such as managing meetings, brainstorming and publishing and creating presentations collaboratively are explored in depth.”
