Abstract

The objective of our study was two-fold. The first and most important objective was to gather experiences on the use of wiki software in Finnish companies. The second objective was to study the frequency of the use of wikis among Finland's 50 biggest companies. Twenty answers on wiki use experiences were received, the responses were divided fairly evenly into different sized companies which operate within different branches. The following questions were surveyed: reasons for the introduction of wikis, purposes of use, motivation methods, introduction processes, present purposes of use, integration of wiki applications to other operating systems, experienced problems and advantages, and tailoring of wiki applications.
