Aithin™ was developed by Straits Knowledge Digital. The team at Straits Knowledge has been helping organisations to audit and map their knowledge since 2002. Our challenge has always been the lack of a suitable software tool to help us do this. Working manually on paper with markers and then shifting the knowledge maps into MS Excel is laborious, and it limits the analytics you can do on the resulting knowledge maps. We finally decided to develop an application to make the whole process much, much simpler. Aithin™ puts more power into the hands of our clients, giving them data that they can make use of instantly to manage their knowledge.
