Analysis by design Grooms KM Watchdog
Analysis by design, Inc. today announced that the KM Watchdog news service
has undergone significant enhancements to improve usability for all users
regardless of their connection speed to the internet.
Only three weeks after its launch it was recognized that the usability of
the KM Watchdog needed streamlining. Analysis by design Marketing team
leader Sandra Pope confirmed, As more and more news content was added to
the KM Watchdog, our pages became quite large. Our clients and our own
research team commented on the excessive time required to load our monthly
news pages remotely. Pope concluded, That signaled the need to lower our
bandwidth requirements for our users while still providing access to a
rapidly growing archive of KM news.
To design the solution, it was identified that KM Watchdog users fall into
two categories; current readers, and corporate researchers. Current
readers regularly access current news (i.e., news covering the past five
to seven days). Conversely, corporate researchers cut a slice through all
news items looking for activity in a specific thread.
To satisfy the two categories of users the KM Watchdog service has
switched to a weekly format. News items over two weeks old are now
archived off-line but accessible in daily increments through a powerful,
AltaVista-like search facility.
President of Analysis by design, Inc. Nigel Vickers offered his praise for
the efforts, I am very pleased with our work to continuously improve the
KM Watchdog service for our clients. The feedback we are getting has
allowed us to respond quickly to the diverse and evolving needs of our
users, with a secondary benefit of reducing our bandwidth consumption.
The enhanced KM Watchdog is available immediately at
