Do you face issues and questions like these?

TOYO realizes knowledge management, or the conversion of tacit knowledge into formal knowledge!

• Cannot find the necessary information; a knowledge management tool has been introduced, but no benefits are apparent.
• Past examples do not reveal what the senior staff members were thinking when they conducted the work or how they arrived at their conclusions; technological know-how is not handed down in the organization.
• Hope to differentiate information that is important for a division and that which can be used by the entire company. In other situation, to view all the information in a manner that transcends categories and use it flexibly.
• It does not seem clear at the start what the knowledge is for us, even though we thought we knew.
• Is there any way to collect and use knowledge efficiently without increasing the everyday workload?
• Hope to use services that offer advice continuously, even after the system is introduced.
