Our brand name, “CoBaseKRM,” can be broken into three parts that tell our story.  “Co” stands for connection, communication, and collaboration. Unmistakable ingredients in every successful science and engineering initiative.   The suffix, “Base,” refers to a repository of useful information. You may have heard about knowledge bases. They store important documents, product information, or customer information in an accessible, one-stop-shop location.   No such “base” existed for the projects, data, and knowledge produced in science and engineering research and development. Well... until now that is!   And at last, “KRM.”  We’re a team of engineers and developers by trade. So, it might shock you to learn we did NOT model our software on complex systems or arcane methodologies.  Actually, we found inspiration from sales and marketing.  KRM stands for “Knowledge Relationship Management.”  It is to science and engineering what Customer Relationship Management (CRM) is to sales and marketing. A way to store knowledge as a trackable asset with rich context and metadata. KRM is the practice of fully capturing the data, analyses, context, insights and – yes – knowledge generated by technical staff such that innovations made on day 1 can be found, understood, reproduced, and reused on day 100, day 1000, or even day one million.  To actualize this new way of working, we built a platform that puts engineers, scientists, and analysts in full control of how they conduct their research, collaborate, and manage their knowledge at virtually every project step.  It’s called “CoBaseKRM,” and it’s the new way that science and engineering work will get done.
