Abstract

Within the last decade a plethora of different technologies emerged claiming to support knowledge worker in their everyday working life. Based on these technologies many different solutions for knowledge process support in enterprise environments have been developed. However the impact of these solutions is mostly considered intangible due to the fact that the overall costs and benefits are not clearly traceable. Traditional approaches for the evaluation of the costs and benefits often cover only a part of the overall scope, leading to an imminent need for a fitting assessment methodology. This paper presents a research approach to develop an integrated cost-benefit-framework, which integrates traditional aspects and related methodologies with emerging, knowledge process based aspects.
