The page covers an analysis of the relationship between the concept of Big Data and knowledge management systems (KMS). It describes how large data sets can be utilized to generate value for an organization. Nowadays, enterprises that want to grow and effectively compete with other market players must possess appropriate knowledge resources. These resources enable them to monitor processes occurring in the organization’s environment and then properly identify and exploit market opportunities. The goal of a KMS is to collect, store, explore, categorize, and process data into knowledge. When applied correctly, it helps make decisions much faster and better. It also supports tracking best practices through the sharing and dissemination of knowledge.

Undoubtedly, the effective use of an information processing system brings numerous benefits. Starting with reducing data duplication and increasing the speed of data access, all the way to internal advantages for the organization. Such a system helps avoid the worst practices and promotes the adoption of much better and more effective ones. It shortens the time required to introduce new products to the market. Thanks to it, we avoid the need to “reinvent the wheel,” which significantly reduces costs. In addition to benefits for companies, considerable improvements can also be observed among customers, particularly through faster problem-solving and consistent service for all clients regardless of geographical location.
