Part I Watch the video (http://youtu.be/8MvWkDXFz0w) and Read Case 1: L’Oreal: Knowledge Management Using Microsoft SharePoint. Answer these questions: 1. What are the challenges facing L’Oreal management? The challenges I believe that are facing L’Oreal and its management team is receiving too much information and data and not being able to categorize better yet process that information. For a company as large as L’Oreal it is important to be able to fully understand the information received and how to translate this information into valuable data.

...Knowledge Management Using Microsoft SharePoint Problem Statement L’Oreal, founded in 1907, is world’s largest cosmetic and beauty company selling globally more than 500 brands. L’Oreal has five worldwide research and development centers spread over France, United States, Japan and China. To link every one of them on the same platform of information is a difficult task. The intranet for this division must support thousands of researchers working in France, the United States, Japan and China. The intranet is required to support professional applications as well as databases on subjects including biology, patents, hair color and laboratory security. In such a vast network its difficult for teams to communicate. Team members lose interest in commercial activity when they consume more energy in communication. To overcome these hurdles and to manage its largest internet initiative L’Oreal chose SharePoint Portal Server. Microsoft SharePoint is a web-based platform that has historically been associated with intranet content management and document management. SharePoint can integrate with the Microsoft Office suite and has a similar interface with the web tools designed to be usable by non-technical users. SharePoint can be used to provide document and file management, collaboration, social networks and workflow automation. 1. What are the challenges facing L'Oreal management?
