6. Explain how Internet and Web technologies enabled the Siemens KMS.

ShareNet has evolved into a state-of-the-art Webbased knowledge management system (KMS) that stores and catalogs volumes of valuable knowledge, makes it available to every employee, and enhances global collaboration. Numerous companies, including Intel, Philips Electronics, and Volkswagen, studied ShareNet before setting up their own KMS. Teleos, an independent knowledge management research company, has acknowledged Siemens as one of the most admired knowledge enterprises worldwide for 5 years in a row.
