Abstract

Modern information system environments generally contain complex computing infrastructure often mapping business processes to people and data. Data manipulation to summarize and report meaningful information is commonplace, although some of these systems and techniques have not been extensively exploited within developing countries. Even in developed economies, where resources and experience are abundant and accessible, the process for moving from information management to knowledge management is not well understood and therefore remains a challenge. In this study, a comprehensive process model that guides the transitioning of an existing information system to a knowledge management system is developed and evaluated. The results indicate that the model sufficiently represents and organizes the activities to be carried out to meet the desired outcome of converting an existing information system into a knowledge management system.
