Taking Confluence for a wiki testdrive

My boss must have just comeback from an IT conference, he calls me into his office starts off by saying “having effective knowledge management can increase the net worth of a consultancy by at least 100%”. He was preaching to the converted, I walk out of his office with the assignment of evaluating Confluence as a knowledge management solution for our company globally.

I love Wiki’s after google, Wikipedia has to be my second most used site. I have used Confluence many times on many sites including SAP SDN, IBM dveloperWorks to name a few. I was looking forward to giving this product a test drive. Plus Atlassan are aussie as.
