Implementing knowledge management systems in cloud-based environments: A case study in a computer science high school

摘要

Knowledge Management Systems are a special class of information systems that support the knowledge management processes. One of the most important barriers that could compromise the KMS implementation is the cost related to the acquisition and the maintenance of the required IT infrastructure. This paper presents how cloud computing could be an alternative to traditional on-premise based implementation project and discusses a case study where a KMS has been implemented in a high school context using a cloud-based environment.
