University customized knowledge management system (KMS)

The fundamental difference between regular, ordinary information and knowledge is that the latter comprises actionable data; that is data with practical values which can be acted upon. For this reason, knowledge management has evolved throughout the years to become an integral aspect of modern corporations and organizations as it contributes to the growth and development of these enterprises. This paper proposes the implementation of a customized knowledge management system that will be deployed and integrated as part of an existing university management system that is currently in use at the Lebanese International University. This ultimate goal of such a system is to aid in the accomplishment of administrative and academic processes more effectively and efficiently.
