The corporate database is a key part of the Workspace Enterprise Portal and Knowledge Management System and forms a binding and consolidation point for all data within the organisation. Provided with every Workspace system and forming the software’s core, the database is designed specifically to support the data that is not dealt with sufficiently by legacy and accounting systems. This data might currently languish hidden in spreadsheets, on network drives or in bespoke systems.
With notoriously disconnected people and systems, companies within the construction industry struggle to maintain centralised databases for simple things like contact records, enquiry lists, projects and the categorisation of organisation records. The Workspace corporate database is designed to allow you to “mop up” the various systems that you may have developed over the years and consolidate that data and knowledge in a centrally accessible place.
More than just a corporate database the system provides the spine of your company's filing systems. Workspace users no longer depend upon network shares or public folders within email systems for filing as each entry in the corporate database has an automatically and centrally created document store.
For a Workspace customer the corporate database is the cornerstone of their IT infrastructure delivering the strategic platform that supports their key processes and data moving forward. Workspace becomes the core knowledge management platform for the business.
