Jam Warehouse staff presentation

In its current form, KnowledgeTree is a business division of Jam Warehouse, from whence it started. But this isn't the post on KnowledgeTree's history. Being a business division of a software development company like Jam has its advantages. Back when KnowledgeTree meant just me, the availability of software development and business experts amongst my colleagues was invaluable. Even as one of the largest efforts in the company, the new ideas and alternative perspectives are still valuable. (Repost from my KT blog)

Today we gave them a view into our world. Occasionally the company has a lunch catered for everyone, and a few people in the company get roped in to talk about something of interest - from Agile Methodologies and interesting testing ideas to overviews of the projects the company does. Today it was our division's turn to present KnowledgeTree.

Philip, Brandon, and Isaac gave the presentation on behalf of the team.

Brandon is a new face on our team - in charge of sales. He opened by giving an overview of what KnowledgeTree is and what it means to people and what he's heard from KnowledgeTree users over the past three weeks. It was very interesting to hear his fresh perspective on things, after nearly two years on the project. He also gave an overview on how the sales are going, and the process used and some of the problems we are facing.

Philip showed off the web interface (very briefly - after all, all Jam staff have been using KnowledgeTree for ages), the KT Explorer and the Microsoft Office integration. He briefly discussed the newer features of KnowledgeTree, and what things we've looking at in future.

Isaac finished up, describing his great work on imaging (scanning, mostly) and integration into Microsoft Outlook. At this point, I was incredibly impressed with what we've put together. Isaac used real-life use-cases to good effect, and got people thinking about how much time and effort can be saved by using KT.
