1. Microsoft Azure helps crowdsourcing solution surface and magnify valuable ideas, knowledge
Partner Logo
“Azure was essential in the birth through deployment of our application. The synthesis of Azure and our own concepts allowed us to depart from the conventional definition of what knowledge is and change the way it is surfaced within an organization.” – Jerry Goguen, CEO, Intralearn Software
SITUATION
Vast quantities of ideas and knowledge lie unused and unappreciated in organizations. Using a variety of cloud services, Intralearn wanted to use crowdsourcing to surface and magnify unappreciated, unused or lost knowledge within organizations – especially knowledge lost when people leave. Its solution, NanoNotion, transforms ideas and knowledge into products and services and is “instant on” for the cloud – which reduces barriers to adoption.
