What It Is

besser wisser is a German-backed knowledge management initiative launched by knowledge management, organizational development, and training professionals including Martina Koch, Manola Kraus, and Stefanie Weßels. Based on the page content, it appears to be more of a consulting and virtual workshop offering centered on “knowledge management with video” than a SaaS knowledge base or enterprise software platform in the standard sense.

Core Capabilities

Its core proposition is to make knowledge management “fun, lightweight, and dynamic.” It uses learning videos to capture employees’ experiential knowledge, applying a social-learning-style approach so that knowledge can be watched repeatedly, accessed at any time, and shared with a wider audience. The main format is the “besser wisser-Tag”: a fully virtual knowledge management kick-off day that helps organizations identify critical experiential knowledge, understand how individual knowledge can be transformed into collective knowledge, and enable every participant to create their first knowledge video. The result is an initial knowledge media library. The event can cover up to 100 employees from different age groups, hierarchy levels, and organizational departments. A Starter-Kit is also mailed out in advance to increase engagement.

Pricing and Enterprise Software Capabilities

The page does not disclose pricing, plans, payment methods, trial policies, or delivery quotes. From a SaaS/enterprise software perspective, the main text also does not mention a knowledge base system, content management backend, permission controls, audit logs, SSO, APIs, third-party integrations, data hosting, security certifications, or self-hosted deployment. Therefore, if an enterprise is looking to purchase a long-term knowledge management platform, this page alone is not enough to assess its software capabilities.

Pros and Cons

Its strengths are a clear positioning and a strong focus on the “people” and “culture” aspects of implementing knowledge management. It is well suited to addressing issues such as employees being reluctant to contribute knowledge or the difficulty of getting knowledge management initiatives started. The video-based approach is also easier to understand and distribute than text-only documentation. The downside is the lack of productized information: there is no feature list, pricing, or explanation of security and compliance. It leans more toward training/consulting and organizational enablement, and should not be directly equated with knowledge base software such as Confluence, Notion, or SharePoint.

Who It’s For and Access from China

It is suitable for mid-sized to large organizations that want to launch a knowledge management initiative, capture employees’ practical experience, and train internal producers of video-based knowledge content. The page does not provide enough information to assess accessibility from China. The service also appears clearly oriented toward the German-speaking market, so domestic Chinese companies should further confirm language support, time zone coverage, delivery format, and data processing arrangements before adoption.
