(shared) knowledge is power
There are two kinds of knowledge - tacit and explicit. Tacit knowledge is the knowledge in your head. Knowledge you haven't shared. Explicit knowledge is knowledge written down and shared. Tacit knowledge is good, but explicit knowledge is better, particularly in a technical support context. In Rational Client Support, we've built a robust knowledge management program, based on knowledge-centered support best practices, aimed to equip the organization to capture knowledge effectively for reuse, not only internally, but outside the firewall as...

just in time, not just in case
W hat? What do you mean? "Just in time, not "just in case" is a great catch-phrase that captures our knowledge management practices here in Rational Client Support.

were displayed in libraries and expanded the libraries' visibility and
their role as community centers by participating in wartime... [More]

New IEA module: Basics of AppScan Standard's in-session detection feature
In Rational Client Support, we are always looking for ways to make you more successful using IBM Rational products. How do we do that? We monitor trends and topics, both in the support tickets we receive and resolve, and the documents accessed out on the web. We use this data to target specific activities around the areas that matter to YOU. We've noticed we're getting a lot of questions around the in-session detection feature of IBM Rational AppScan, and so our support engineers have created the first ever IBM Education Assistant module for...
