Do any of these feel familiar?

These are not rare cases. They are everyday scenes in most organisations without a structured knowledge base.

"Where is the latest version of this document?"

Three people receive the question by email. Nobody knows whether the shared file is up to date. You end up recreating it.

"Can you explain how that works again?"

The colleague who knows is in a meeting. The written procedure dates from 2021. The new hire has to wait or search alone.

The expert leaves — and the knowledge disappears

A departure, a transfer — and years of professional practice evaporate. No structured trace remains for their successor.

Files everywhere, nowhere

SharePoint, Teams, emails, local drives. The documentation exists — but it is unfindable in an emergency.

Work gets redone that has already been done

An audit, a note, a case study: work is reproduced because nobody knew it already existed somewhere.

Onboarding takes weeks

Every new hire starts from scratch. No up-to-date onboarding kit, no accessible reference base from day one.

These problems do not come from a lack of skills. They come from a lack of structure for sharing what is known. That is exactly what konnaissance solves.

What you gain with konnaissance

Observable changes from the first weeks of use — not in 18 months.

30 seconds to find anything

Full-text search across all content. The procedure, the decision, the SOP — findable immediately.

Knowledge stays in the organisation

Departures are no longer losses. Procedures, decisions and methods are captured — independently of individuals.

Onboarding becomes smoother

New hires reach autonomy faster thanks to dedicated spaces, always up to date, accessible from day one.

No more ghost versions

Every page is versioned. You always know which version is correct, who changed it, when and why.

Accessible at any time, from anywhere

In a meeting, on the road, from any device — without depending on someone else to find the information.

Friction-free collaboration

Comments, suggestions, validation workflows — multiple teams contribute to the same reference base, without version conflicts.

How it plays out in practice

Examples drawn from real situations in teams of 30 to 2,000 people.

1
A manager searches for the system access procedure — sends 4 emails, waits 2 days with no reply.
They open konnaissance, type "access", find the up-to-date procedure in 30 seconds. Without disturbing anyone.
2
An expert retires. Their professional knowledge exists nowhere. Their successor starts from scratch for 6 months.
Their records, methods and key decisions are in konnaissance. The handover takes 2 weeks, not 6 months.
3
An ISO audit requests up-to-date procedures. The team spends a full week tracking down and consolidating scattered files.
SOPs are in konnaissance, versioned, with approval history. The audit export takes a few clicks.
4
A local authority’s DPO doesn’t know which version of the GDPR procedures is in force. Three versions coexist in different folders.
A single GDPR page in konnaissance, versioned, with change history. The version in force is always visible.

ekuITy, XWiki partner since 2024

konnaissance is built on XWiki, the open source enterprise wiki developed in France by XWiki SAS. As partners of the vendor since 2024, we deploy, migrate, host and run XWiki wikis for organisations of all sizes.

Deployment and configuration

Installation, single sign-on (SSO, LDAP or Active Directory), per-space rights, page templates and extensions suited to how you work.

Migration from Confluence, SharePoint or Notion

Spaces, pages, attachments and useful history carried over, then the page tree reorganised so it truly serves your teams.

Hosted in France or on your premises

An instance hosted in France by ekuITy, or installed on your own infrastructure, with backups, updates and monitoring.

Support, training and change management

A single point of contact, training for your contributors and adoption support, working directly with the vendor when needed.

ekuITy is the only integrator partnered with both XWiki and OpenProject. Knowledge management and project management go together: XWiki integrates natively with OpenProject, which we offer as koprojet. Together they replace Confluence + Jira: see how to leave Atlassian.
