Knowledge Management Systems
Range from repositories of past bid responses to actively managed content libraries
Degree of sophistication selected based on the anticipated need for content reuse
Use of a knowledge management staff that provides a competitive advantage

Unique tracking number associated with each graphic
Branding and image reinforced with graphic repositories maintained by corporate media groups
Consistency, quality and conformance to corporate media guidelines ensured by graphics style guide
Symbol library of often-used graphic elements maintained for incorporation into actual graphics
