Business Glossary


A Business Glossary is a collection of your business terms with the definition for those terms. It is an essential instrument that gives a clear description of what your business means. 


Benefits

  • Improves findability: as a central, easily accessible resource you avoid the tedious, error-prone and frustrating search for that out-of-date spreadsheet stored in your colleague's drive.
