2008
Project : Knowledge Management Portal
The portal was designed for the new joiners to get acquanited with all the relevant information they needed to know about a particular project. For example if Smith joins X project in a company, he will simply login to the portal and search for his project and get to see all the basic information about it. Some of the information was Client information, Technology Used, Most common errors & resolutions, Project manager & Team member information
This saved a lot of time of the current employees since the new joiners would then be aware of the system before they actually hit the floor
