Abstract

ITIL is the most widely used IT framework in most organizations in the world now. Every public and private IT organization tries to adopt ITIL into its own business and implement it because there are a lot of different kinds of information and activities in the organizations that should manage. There is a possible solution to record and retrieve those founded information in the ITIL-based repository which its name is Configuration Management Data Base (CMDB). Also SME companies have high impact on business market, today. SME’s are engines of developing the economy of developing countries. In addition, one of the most practical Knowledge management Frameworks is suggested by Giga Information Group which is a circular model with four stages that represents what people generally do with knowledge. This paper tries to extend the usability of this ITIL-based repository in to other parts of the SME’s as well to cover four stages of knowledge management framework.
