The issue of a wiki service always comes up when an enterprise wiki software within a company or organization is to be used for the purpose of knowledge management and the technical conditions should be handled as professionally as with Wikipedia. The MediaWiki system on which all software enterprise distributions are based is structured quite heterogeneously because it was developed by thousands of program code suppliers in terms of the open source ideas.

For that reason, the professional installation and the adequate technical operation of the software in a professional environment requires much experience and a mature, experienced awareness of the peculiarities and idiosyncrasies of the system. Wiki Service has worked with this wiki software for many years and works closely together with the MediaWiki community as well as the various providers of related enterprise wiki distributions.

In addition, Wiki Service has specialized in the ideal methods of transfer of web-based open source software in the World Wide Web for more than 10 years. Here are some excellent reasons why Wiki Service is your best choice for implementing Wiki-based knowledge platforms in your enterprise.

• Wiki Service will advise you in selecting an appropriate platform for the enterprise MediaWiki platform for knowledge management in your company or organisation, for example, as a company-wiki, customer-wiki or project-management-wiki.
• Wiki Service will install and maintain complete server infrastructures, custom-tailored to your enterprise wiki, via remote server administration and at customer's request, will integrate additional applications for HRM, CRM and content management.
• Wiki Service works exclusively on the customer's own servers and at the customer's request will pledge confidentiality in writing. Don't leave your business-critical data to the so-called Software as a Service (SaaS) providers.
• Wiki Service operates as an independent expert body and takes care of all communication with the respective software vendors whenever necessary. Don't waste your precious hours waiting for help desk tickets and reading forum posts about specific technical subjects.
• MediaWiki has developed consistently during the last 10 years; amongst other things, for Wikipedia. This means that your knowledge management platform will also be constantly adapting to the technical standards of the Internet.

• Wiki Service will keep records for your entire web-system in an extra namespace of your wiki, or in a separate wiki installation for larger projects (wiki-farms).
• Wiki Service offers individual development and customization at a fraction of the usual cost for program development and modifications in professional IT fields.
