The August issue of Website Magazine is out, and it includes an article I wrote: 5 Effective Wiki Uses and How Companies Benefit From Them. Here’s a brief excerpt:

A wiki can be especially useful for commonly needed information, like FAQ, guidelines, HR or purchasing policies. Editing permissions can be set so those responsible for these policies have the ability to edit them as needed and everyone else can read them. This eliminates the need to distribute paper copies of policies each time a change is made. Instead, the HR department can simply send an email announcing changes, with a link to the full policy page on the wiki.

Eliminating all that paper is also a good way to save money, fuel & shipping expenses, and do something to ease your organization’s impact on the environment.
