Dresdner Kleinwork, a major investment bank headquartered in London and Frankfurt, claim that their in-house wiki project, which originated in the organisation’s IT department, has been a major boost to productivity.
After six months, traffic to the internal wiki was exceeding typical traffic to the company intranet, has grown to more than 2,000 pages and is used by about 25% of the workforce. Dresdner Kleinwork have around 6,000 employees, so that’s about 1,500 employees who use the wiki.
The organisation claims that the internal wiki has decreased email volumes by up to 75% and cut the company’s meeting times in half.
This is an interesting case study. The projections on volumes for wiki implementation in this blog roughly correlate to this case study. Looking at Wikipedia statistics, I deduced that a Wiki rolled out to an organisation of 15,000 employees would result in a Wiki of around 20,000 pages (in time).
