Documents in your enterprise are stored on WebDAV servers. You want to use the Knowledge Management (KM) platform to make these documents accessible by employees in the Enterprise Portal. Employees need to read and edit these documents. They also need to create new documents. You also want to make the most of subscription and collaboration services, and to be able to search for documents.
Users of the Portal can also take advantage of WebDAV. WebDAV enables documents to be edited directly on the server. You can use a WebDAV-capable client (for example, Microsoft Office 2000) to open the file directly from the Portal server. You can then make your changes. When you save, the document is updated directly on the Portal server and can be called up in the Portal in its newest version. Locking and version control mechanisms ensure secure work within groups and prevent documents from being accidentally overwritten.
The Knowledge Management platform can be implemented as a WebDAV server and as a WebDAV client. This allows it to be used in different scenarios.

• The KM platform as a WebDAV server You want to access CM repositories of the KM platform with a WebDAV-capable client, for example, MS Webfolder. We recommend this especially if you want to transfer large numbers of files to the KM platform (mass operations).
• The KM platform as a WebDAV client You want to use the KM platform to access documents that are stored on other WebDAVcapable servers (for example, in another Enterprise Portal or on Microsoft Internet Information Servers). You need a WebDAV repository manager to do this.
