The SharePoint Knowledge Base Solution Accelerator is a really exciting new addition to the Bamboo product lineup.  It was created to give organizations a turn-key solution that they could use to facilitate their own internal and external facing corporate knowledge bases.  Who doesn’t need a better way of cataloging and disseminating the wealth of knowledge an organization accumulates?  While the SharePoint platform has all the pieces (and even a starter template) needed to create such an application, they are difficult to tie together without experience developing SharePoint applications.  We all know that development and IT resources are expensive, and by correlation, so are the costs of developing a custom knowledge base solution in SharePoint.  Enter the Bamboo SharePoint KB Accelerator.  Our product consists of a site template supplemented with a number of embedded Web Parts to provide an inexpensive out-of-the-box knowledge base solution that can be used in a wide variety of vertical applications.  Some of its capabilities include:

• Provides a central place for collaboration/knowledge sharing.  This can be a part of a help desk or general corporate information store.
• Provides a location where general info can be uploaded and categorized without the help of a web master.
• Allows users to manage their own knowledge base.
• Provides a central place for self service Q&A without having to call support.
• Provides a secured, fast, searchable, global area for shared knowledge.

An empty knowledge base isn’t going to do anyone any good.  The beauty of the SharePoint Knowledge Base Accelerator is its easy to use client interface that will help promote end-user buy in.  Already got data somewhere?  Whether it is inside of SharePoint or in another system entirely, we've got you covered either way!  Use the Bamboo List Bulk Import to quickly migrate your information to the knowledge base!  For more product information, or to obtain a free downloadable trial, please visit the SharePoint Knowledge Base Solution Accelerator product page on the Bamboo online store.
