Wanted: Reviewers




P.S.
I am Norwegian, so English is not my native language. You should therefore expect both grammaricious errors, punct.uati.on and speling errors :-)

Smarter, leaner and more efficient

According to a new IBM-sponsored study, midsize companies are working smarter and leaner because of the current economy. But despite the financial crisis, many midsize companies are not decreasing their investments in IT, but rather maintaining or increasing their IT spending to focus on strategic areas.

The highest-priority technology solution, chosen by 75 percent of respondents, is Information Management, which turns mountains of data into meaningful insights.

The most pressing business challenges include
- increasing efficiency and productivity (80 percent)
- improving customer care (74 percent)
- better use of information (72 percent).

"At a time when digital information is growing every day at a rate eight times the volume housed in all U.S. libraries, organizations need smarter ways to cope with the increasing information overload by turning this data into real intelligence", IBM said.

PpcSoft iKnow is a tool designed to help you increase efficiency and productivity by better use of your information. However, PpcSoft iKnow does not turn mountains of data into meaningful insights "automagically" - this is what your brain does better than any tool.

PpcSoft iKnow will complement your brain and help you remember all the information (or even better, knowledge) that you enter, and will help you quickly find it again when you need it.

For small and midsize companies, PpcSoft iKnow could be the best investment of the year to increase efficiency and productivity !

Our code of conduct

The world wide web provides almost unlimited access to information and communication, and you can hide your identity and say more or less anything you want. But where is the line between freedom of speech and common courtesy ?

Freedom of speech:
"Right, as stated in the 1st and 14th Amendments to the Constitution of the United States, to express information, ideas, and opinions free of government restrictions based on content"
- Britannica Encyclopedia

"People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use."
- Soren Kierkegaard (1813 - 1855)

Whatever you do on the internet may stay there forever, so our simple rule is:
"Be polite, friendly, helpful and nice"

If you wouldn't say it to your best friend, your spouse and your mom - don't say it !
