"Knowledge management system is not a company, but a ""theory"", so it does not have actual locations. However, there are many different applications of knowledge management systems."

Knowledge management as a technological information system allows organizations to pull together the collective knowledge of its employees.

A knowledge management system can be useful in many different ways or strategies and practices. It is commonly used successfully in the Information Technology field and human resource management.

Knowledge Management often refers to the categorization and vetting of corporate knowledge in the form of additions to a database that is widely accessible either to the corporation itself or beyond. A Knowledge Management Team might be the group of people responsible for reviewing (vetting) the submissions to a Knowledge Management System, possibly categorizing them differently than that suggested by the author and authorizing them to be exposed on the Knowlegge Management System.

Functions of a knowledge management system (KMS) include support for assisting organizations to identify, select, organize, disseminate, and transfer information that represents expertise.
