An American manufacturing company has been in business for over 100 years, running lean and smart, innovating to stay ahead of its competitors around the world. One of the ways this company maintains its technical lead is by maximizing the sharing of knowledge within its production, maintenance, and engineering teams. Plone now has a central role in this knowledge sharing. I will describe and show the fast, stripped down knowledge base built using Plone Classic (Blicca) that is allowing the company to add to and share its decades of team members' experience, one note at a time. You will see Plone features [ab]used and extended, its user interface stripped back, some power capabilities re-introduced, its APIs exercised to ... REPLACE Odoo. Yes, you heard it. Plone is much much better than Odoo. Come see the proof.
