BA Insight Expertise Locator Named KMWorld Trend-Setting Product Of 2016

BOSTON - Sept. 1, 2016 - PRLog -- BA Insight is pleased to announce that its Expertise Locator software has been named a KMWorld "Trend-Setting Product" for 2016.  Expertise Locator radically changes how internal experts are identified by using information from multiple internal systems to quickly find and contact the right experts.

"We are honored that our Expertise Locator was selected as a Trend-Setting Product by KMWorld," said Jeff Fried, CTO of BA Insight. "It solves a challenge that nearly every organization faces – finding the right internal expertise.  We've taken a new approach to this problem; we tap information from many different sources to create a digital footprint of expertise, and we make it easy to explore.  As a result, expertise is easier to find, content related to those experts is surfaced, and employees can quickly take advantage of their company's collective intelligence to do their jobs better."

KMWorld Editor Sandra Haimila says, "Each year we look for software products that break new territory in helping organizations achieve their knowledge management goals. These products are designed, developed and perfectly timed to fill a niche in the marketplace before users are even aware that such functionality and flexibility have been missing. Designated as the KMWorld Trend-Setting Products of 2016, these offerings hold the promise for the marketplace."

Haimila adds, "Our judging panel agrees that such characteristics as usefulness, scalability and level of innovation are among the most valuable components that we consider when we annually select the KMWorld Trend-Setting Products. And the panel believes that timing is key. Too late in the market and competitors already have a foothold. Too early and customers are nowhere to be found."
