  • Norwegian Post Office uses TMCore07 to deliver a unified information portal to 24,000 employees nationwide

Stand 786, Olympia Grand Hall, London, 28th - 30th November 2006

At this year's Online Information Event, NetworkedPlanet, the leading vendor of information management tools and products, will provide the first UK showing of TMCore07, a next generation Topic Maps-based information management solution for the distributed enterprise. TMCore07 integrates directly into EPiServer or MS Office 2007 via SharePoint, to provide large and growing organisations with a quick and direct way for employees to locate and present data from across multiple systems. The solution locates and structures information to vastly improve knowledge sharing and speed up day-to-day processes by ensuring workers can rapidly access relevant data.

Visitors to the stand can hear how TMCore07 is providing the Norwegian Post Office's 24,000 employees with access to a unified internal information portal, and what considerable benefits this has delivered to the organisation. TMCore07 tags key documents and information by user-selected topics and couples them with other material on the basis of specific relationships. The solution is based on the ISO Topic Maps standard for structured information management, which describes index-like structures on top of existing data. Topic Maps can be merged together so that new applications can seamlessly access and integrate with them, and data from any system can be viewed, reorganised and accessed by the user - without having to use multiple applications.

Kal Ahmed is Founder of NetworkedPlanet: "Employees within large organisations need access to a plethora of data to do their jobs as quickly and efficiently as possible, yet this information is usually located on a range of different systems. A task as seemingly straightforward as generating a customer invoice may require data from invoicing, CRM and financial accounting systems - not to mention any historic order information - all of which take time to locate, as this may require searching or navigating through multiple interfaces. Topic Maps technology provides the solution for bringing those access points together in a single, unified and searchable interface.

"By mapping each respective source of information, data from any source can be viewed and manipulated through a single interface which can be accessed by anyone in the organisation," Kal Ahmed continued. "In the case of the Norwegian Post Office implementation, the TMCore integration ensures valuable corporate assets are easily found using an effective 'concept, role and workflow' based system."

TMCore is NetworkedPlanet's server platform for developing enterprise-scale knowledge and information management applications. The TMCore server stores and manages 'topic maps' of an organisation's internal databases, documents and employee knowledge which comprises of different "topics" - employees, departments, services, documents etc. Each topic holds information about itself, links to related documents and can also be connected to any other topic creating a knowledge web of relationships and information resources that can be browsed or searched by end-users. The result is a detailed index of the organisation's information resources across a number of systems via a single unified information portal.
