Abstract: This paper categorizes in terms of size, the behaviour of the Basque small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the use of information technology (IT) tools as enablers of knowledge management practices. As part of this research, this article concludes as well about the suitability of collaborative tools in organic and flexible less informal organizations, such as small enterprises. The evolution of technology trends towards the use of collaborative platforms to support knowledge capturing and sharing in a less standardized way. Therefore, this characteristic of collaborative tools allows the smallest SMEs to have at their disposal a flexible tool for knowledge sharing.
