The Goals & Challenges
As with all successful companies, one of the biggest challenges is the sharing and accessibility to company information, established best processes and operational standards. As a progressive firm, WhippleWood CPAs’ goals and objectives were to create a highly accessible, easy-to-use, corporate knowledge base for their team.

This knowledge base had to:

• Be easy to update
• Be easy to search for information
• Allow for document control based on different user permissions
• Show recent updates to documents
• Serve as the information portal for all the company communications

The Solution
To address the specific needs of WhippleWood CPAs, Webolutions created a corporate wiki, which was rolled out at their annual all team convergence in September. This extremely flexible corporate knowledge base solution includes:

• A customized landing page for each member of the firm showing RSS feeds, company announcements and other information to improve communications
• Brand consulting for the firm to define their overall brand experience
• An information architecture which provides fast and easy access to corporate information, based on specific functions or specific team member needs
• A dynamic search function that learns and becomes more efficient as searches are done
• The ability to collaborate on individual and firm initiatives via the use of alerts and commenting
• An easy browser-based interface to access all of their corporate information
• The ability to set individual user permissions for each and every document
• The ability to easily move and update documents within the system
• The ability to set alerts and view the most recent changes to documents
• Ongoing implementation guidance and consulting to ensure the success of the initiative
