Knowledge Fusion is not your ordinary consulting company. We are not selling any specific methodology or technology. Our sole purpose is to help organizations improve their operational efficiencies by studying their existing resources and their target market space and identifying where resources are being under-utilized. These are your buried treasures in a tough economy.
Once we help you identify how you can use your existing resources to increase your potential, we also help to coach you through the development and successful roll-out of the solution so that the people as well as the systems are positioned to be successful. It’s not just about the systems and the processes, but the human factors that are also part of the success of a project.
Knowledge Fusion facilitates diverse cross-functional teams to develop the Right Solutions Rapidly.
What is most important from a business perspective is that the root cause of a business issue is identified and that technology is applied appropriately along with the supporting processes and artefacts in order to resolve the issues.
Typically, we work with your existing teams to implement solutions, however, if you need additional resources, Knowledge Fusion has a network of experienced associates that are available to help you on an as-needed basis. Our associates include business experts, AGILE Development experts, IT experts, and development teams. Our main partnership with Data Perceptions brings you over 15 years of custom software development experience on an as-needed basis. For more information, visit their site at

Some Defintions… Knowledge Fusion
The process of facilitating cross-functional teams to efficiently collaborate towards solving complex business or product issues. Knowledge Integration
The process of synthesizing information from multiple, diverse sources into a consistent integrated knowledge base or operational model. By understanding a subject or issue from multiple perspectives, one achieves a more robust understanding of how the subject relates to the whole. This approach also ensures that new knowledge is integrated into existing knowledge bases appropriately. Agile Development
Agile Development is a methodology used to develop software applications rapidly. By using a disciplined methodology, it is possible to plan development sprints with short time-lines that deliver functionality to the user base with a phased-in approach. This ensures that the users are able to visualize the solution as it evolves. It also enables technical and business teams to collaborate more effectively and create a solution that incorporates software, business processes, user training and into a strategic release plan.
Note the emphasis on the concept of DISCIPLINE. It is essential that an Agile project has a designated Agile Coach or Facilitator to ensure that the cross-functional teams are integrated into a smooth operating team that maintains a focus on a common and consistent goal.
Rapid Application Design
Historically, the software development process has followed a semi-linear model where one team must complete their deliverable before the next team can start. The nature of this linear dependency results in project plans that are drawn out over time. The generic concept of Rapid Application Design refers to a more parallel approach where teams collaborate and work in parallel to reduced elapsed time for a project.
