Comments on: Ten benefits of a business wiki http://allthewikis.com/wiki-faqs/benefits-business-wiki/ website for online collaboration Fri, 05 Dec 2008 08:52:10 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Bill Roberts http://allthewikis.com/wiki-faqs/benefits-business-wiki/#comment-243 Bill Roberts Wed, 21 May 2008 10:27:35 +0000 http://allthewikis.com/wiki-faqs/benefits-business-wiki/#comment-243 Thanks Mark for a great summary of the benefits that wiki enthusiasts (like me) can use to promote wiki uptake. I'd like to suggest one more that I think gives wikis a big advantage over most other information management tools: it's the power of the hyperlink in organising your information. The information a business needs is inter-related in a lot of ways, and traditional hierarchical structures are just not flexible enough to let people connect the information in the ways they want. No single structure can match all the ways you might want to look at your documents and data. And particularly now that everyone is familiar with the web, organising your information as a series of linked web pages is a very natural model for most people.
