The Exuberant Differentiator

Would you rather have just one person's brainpower or the collective knowledge of a whole team of people working on your needs?

Exuberant is recognized as a leader in knowledge management, which means that our professionals leverage the knowledge and insight of their Clients globally regularly, whether in the office, on the road, or at client sites. Our knowledge sharing environment and the resources it offers provide Exuberant professionals with a competitive edge — we have access to the business news, analysis, benchmarks, methodologies, plans and work papers, and intelligence we need to understand our clients and their businesses so we can deliver the most efficient, quality service time after time.

Our Approach: Knowledge-sharing Practices

Gathering the collective knowledge of our people is one thing; making it available to the Exuberant professionals working on your needs is another. We've developed a variety of knowledge-sharing practices that make it easy for our professionals to leverage the knowledge and insight of their 130,000 colleagues globally every day, whether in the office, on the road, or at client sites.

Knowledge-sharing Practices. Making knowledge readily available to our professionals worldwide enables them to efficiently implement a broad array of services in audit, tax, transactions, online security, and enterprise risk management.

Desktop Knowledge. Technology makes knowledge-sharing possible among our clients professionals in geographically dispersed locations. Ernst & Young's award-winning intranet platform, the Knowledge Web (KWeb), provides portable and Web access to internal and external (vendor-provided) news, analysis, benchmarks, experience, methodologies, and sales and marketing material. Additionally, specialized KWeb tools such as the Search Engine and Community HomeSpaces enable professionals to immediately retrieve the content most relevant to their needs.

Customized Knowledge. Globally-connected information professionals in many countries provide customized primary and secondary research, analysis, and market and competitive intelligence. Information can include financial, economic, and demographic data, literature searches, executive profiles, company overviews, industry trends, and competitive landscapes.

Client Knowledge. Exuberant Online, the firm's private secure extranet, provides our clients continuous access to our people and knowledge worldwide. Collaborative services and individually tailored content, tools, and resources are also available to clients via this tool.

Knowledge Networks. Network coordinators align with specific communities of interest (by region, industry, service line, account, engagement) to connect them with the most relevant information and to advance our knowledge within each practice area. By focusing on specific areas of interest, network coordinators drive the acquisition, reuse, and creation of knowledge within those communities and on behalf of the larger organization.
