Products - vBooks - The Solution to Knowledge Management

vBooks (virtual books) are dynamic containers of knowledge and the core component of Retrieve's Information Distribution System (IDS). The vBook technology delivers targeted information, to appropriate individuals, at the right time for an organization. Whether the information is to the entire organization or a group within the organization, the information is a flexible, scalable, and standardized solution.

Solutions to Knowledge Management

Retain investment in knowledge
Knowledge is lost when people either leave the company or forget what they've learned. vBooks provide the ability to retain the company investment by dynamically incorporating new knowledge.

Make instant content updates
vBooks are easy to maintain and keep current since content updates are made directly in the original source, providing content updates to be instantly received by the users.

Capture knowledge
Webinar, training classes, and the like can be captured on video-tape during delivery and placed into vBooks. The captured event can be made available to those not able to attend therefore providing the ability to touch an unlimited amount of individuals.

Aggregation of content
Users can access externally produced vBooks from the very same place they access internally built vBooks. The result is an extremely flexible and entirely customizable Information Management Solution.

Categorization of knowledge
Because the vBooks are isolated entities they can easily be distributed on an individual need-to-have basis. Users no longer have to sift through massive amounts of content that is not relevant to them, when they, in reality, only need to have access to a portion of all information.

Flexible content uses
Since vBooks are containers for knowledge, vBooks can contain any type of information such as HR manuals, training courseware, webinar recordings, white papers, etc.


Endless content combinations
vBooks can be built with any combination of audio, video (screen capture or full motion), Flash, text, documents (ie Word, Powerpoint, Excel, PDF), or graphics content.

Dynamic content
Dataset and file information (docs and drawings, etc) is easily incorporated into vBooks and can be downloaded by users.

PDF and print material conversion
Convert information currently in printed or pdf form and place it into vBooks.

Build a vBook in as little as a few hours!
vBooks come with tools to make the building process simple and easy.

Eliminate printing costs
vBooks are virtual books of knowledge and information.

Easy viewing access
vBooks have minimal viewing requirements, only a browser and an internet connection are needed.

Deliver content update notifications
Each time the content in vBooks is updated or revised, the subscribers receive an email notification of this addition.

Customization
Company standards, processes, dwt's, and other documents can be placed into vBooks for dissemination.

vOffice/vLibrary

A vOffice/vLibrary is the interface which distributes vBooks to users. From a single entry point users can access all of their content in their vBooks. The individual vOffice also provides management and organizational visibility tools of vBooks. Adding additional vBooks to an individual vOffice is as easy as selecting titles.

Prebuilt vBooks. Prebuilt vBooks consist of pre-written content which are available immediately and leverage the volume of information built externally to the organization.

Custom vBooks. Custom vBooks consist of existing content which can be edited to suit your organization. For instance, by leveraging existing Human Resources content, edits and additions can made to the content specific to the organization.
