Workflow Systems
Workflow systems are related to task and project management, as well as a type of electronic document processing called document image management.
Characteristics of workflow systems:
1. Workflow systems involve helping knowledge workers collaborate to accomplish and manage structured work tasks within a knowledge-based business process.
2. Workflow systems are typically based on rules that govern the flow of tasks and task information contained in business forms and other documents.
Knowledge Management
Knowledge management is a tool of enterprise collaboration that groupware packages use to organize, manage, and share the diverse forms of business information created by individuals and teams in an organization. Groupware application software stores this information in document libraries, discussion databases, knowledge repositories, and web site hypermedia databases. These forms of stored information help create a knowledge base or organizational memory of strategic business information to be shared within the organization. Knowledge bases are part of the knowledge management systems being developed and used by many companies.
