The Most Complete, Customizable and Adaptable Knowledge Management Solution

A knowledge management system, for a business unit or for the enterprise, needs to do the adapting, both initially and over time as changes inevitably occur. Avoiding politically sensitive "change management" internally is key to program success. The knowledge solution should adapt to the business unit's or enterprise's processes, not vice-versa. Also, being able to add pre-integrated solutions over time from one source is the ultimate in safety.

A central platform of the Learn.net "KX5 Solutions Family" is the "MAPLE" Knowledge Management solution. "MAPLE" is short for "Multi-Adaptive Performance & Learning Environment." No other solution has the total capabilities of "MAPLE." It is a closed loop, “rules-based” knowledge solution inclusive of all the key elements that are required. It does the adapting to your organization; not vice versa.



The "KX5 Solutions Family" actually encompasses fourteen solutions overviewed below. These allow specific business needs to be addressed as needed on a modular basis. Later solutions can be added as needed; all pre-integrated for ease, safety, flexibility and value.

"MAPLE" has many advantages over other solutions. Its Workflow Rules, "meta-data" and objects reusability capabilities are powerful, and provide unique safety. A key aspect of the solution is its ability to adapt to the customer, to keep the customer from having to adapt its internal processes at great cost and disruption. Workflow Rules enable this flexibility. Customization is fast and easy to achieve.


MAPLE includes all of the key, integrated components of an enterprise-quality knowledge management system. Its Rules-based architecture allows modules to be used, and easily added to over time. The MAPLE graphic overviews the major capabilities. More detailed features are available by clicking on the features summary URL at the bottom of the page. Also, click here to access an PDF overviewing the many safety, cost saving, ease, speed, flexibility and growth benefits provided by a Rules architecture, per this quote: "Not only were the changes made three times faster in the rules-based environment, but it also required only 20% of the labor...Rather than doing four major (new programs) per year, it's now possible to do one a month with far fewer people..."-Intelligent Enterprise Magazine, 11/05.

Besides the quick implementation nature of MAPLE, a major focus of MAPLE is to quickly and easily, completely and at less cost, handle the impacts of inevitable CHANGE. Managing inevitable change is important. There are many Roles in an organization. There are many Entities, and many Objectives as well. All relate to, and affect, each other. As change occurs many cells need to automatically (and seamlessly) change. Achieving speed, ease, safety and low costs are all important.






What is needed, and what is supplied by MAPLE, is the seamless, automated ability to have the impacts of inevitable changes auto-proliferate through the organization. Thus, adapting to change is faster, easier, safer and less expensive as a result. As the simplified graphic below shows, these Rules can be formed into highly adaptive, re-usable learning models ("objects"). These models can be re-used as needed for new programs. Usual, slow and expensive, software logic coding is replaced by much faster and easier database rules configurations. This speeds up new program deployment and reduces launch expense and delay. Changes are faster, easier, safer and less expensive. The organization is the beneficiary.
