How many types of INSERT_KEY_WORD_HERE-as-a-service exist?
We all know of SaaS (Software), PaaS (Platform), IaaS (Infrastructure) & MaaS (Mobility)
Now we have Knowledge as a Service (KaaS).
Here is an interesting article on Knowledge as a Service (KaaS). Thei Geurts illustrates how KaaS can help support an agile enterprise in a networked knowledge economy. Thei Geurts is a Principal Publishing Consultant of Be Value (www.be-value.nl), a company specializing in supporting knowledge workers and agile enterprises.
This 18 page report (PDF) goes back to Oct 2006, so he gets credit for the original term.
From the report:
“Knowledge as a service”
For “being able to use knowledge” the knowledge should be offered to the user as a service. This is in line with both Web 2.0 and SOA technologies which re-conceive software as services. A knowledge service supports not only the day to day process; but also accelerates learning and capability building and establishes effective performance feedback loops.”
