KB Framework features include:

Data, information and document management:

•  Web-based access to information enables "anywhere, anytime" access to your data.

•  Extensible and flexible data connections grow dynamically via templates to include all of your data, structured and unstructured, now and in the future.

•  Data can be structured within databases or folder hierarchies, or it may be unstructured in multiple locations. The data connection templates allow rapid organization and re-organization over time.

•  Consolidation of all data sources and assurance of access to all relevant knowledge improves data re-use, reduces re-purchase of data, and increases confidence in the results.

Integration, security and add-on tools:

•  Industry-standard .NET Web Service Architecture allows rapid addition of new web services and ensures future compatibility.

•  Full .NET security model guarantees not only the integrity of all the information being managed, but also transparently manages authorization of end-users.

Built-in knowledgebase features:

•  Full-text, database ("analog") and map-based searches allow users to see all assets and data across the Framework, including a multiple map/text/diagrammatic interface that provides multiple "views" of an area of interest.

•  The metadata catalog accesses any standard or unstructured data model, ensuring that no information is lost in transformation while maintaining all existing mappings. The catalog provides Framework-wide visibility of and rapid search throughout all data stored in applications, databases and data stores.

Built-in visualization features:

•  Add-on viewers and services provide visualization of many types of information, including maps, databases, seismic data, well logs, reports and documents.

•  Standard templates allow mixed tabular, graphical and map-based displays of data, documents, information and knowledge.

Advanced process, collaboration
and workflow features:

•  Workflow, decision and mind-map® support also allow the knowledgebase to provide alerts, business rule application, process tracking and technical analysis including KPI's.

•  Collaboration tools can also provide virtual workrooms, discussion groups and community of excellence support.

Open Systems:

•  Completely vendor-neutral design assures flexibility - KB Framework was developed to be totally compatible with all applications and databases. Its .NET architecture provides maximum interoperability as well as maximum future compatibility.

•  Industry-standard Service-Oriented
Architecture allows rapid addition of new services to provide new applications and displays
