ABN Amro is piloting an employee knowledge network and inter-departmental collaboration system from AskMe across its wholesale, consumer and commercial operations based in the Netherlands.
AskMe Enterprise is a software system that enables employees within an organisation to source information and knowledge on a particular topic from other departments. The system, which is currently used by large blue chips outside the financial sector, such as Ford and Procter & Gamble, was developed by former Microsoft executives.
Initially, AskMe will be piloted across the bank's corporate finance, client coverage, treasury, insurance brokerage and corporate client units in the Netherlands.
Bernadette Langius, EVP Intellectual Capital Development, comments: "We expect AskMe Enterprise to be a significant investment to enhancing our day-to-day operations."
