This document discusses wikis in organizations. It defines wikis as online tools that allow collaborative editing and sharing of information. Wikis originated in 1994 when Ward Cunningham created the first wiki called WikiWikiWeb. Wikis offer benefits like flexibility, accessibility from anywhere via the web, and low costs. However, wikis also pose security risks and challenges for organization-wide implementation and user training. The document concludes that wikis can enhance organizations by facilitating wide-ranging internal communication.
