The Insider's Guide to Next-Generation BPM

Appian Corporation, a provider of real-time, enterprise Web solutions, announced that the U.S. Navy has awarded the company a multi-million dollar contract relating to its enterprise knowledge management and learning portal, Navy Knowledge Online (NKO). The contract includes additional scaling of NKO; on-going support and maintenance; the purchase of additional hardware; beta-testing of an at-sea version of NKO; and the development of Navy Knowledge Online SIPRNET (NKO-S), a classified version of NKO. Additionally, says Appian, NKO will be upgraded to Appian Enterprise v.3.0, the latest version of Appian's collaborative intranet solution suite.
Appian Enterprise v.3.0, which was launched in June, is an open, standards-based J2EE compliant enterprise Web solution suite to seamlessly integrate portal, document and content management, personalization, and identity management technologies, the firm says. The Appian Enterprise solution suite is based on new versions of Appian Portal and Appian Collaboration. The suite also features a new product, Appian Personalization, a security and identity management engine that powers the delivery of ubiquitous, interactive personalization across the enterprise Web, say Appian spokesmen.
Naval Education and Training Command (NETC), which oversees training and educational opportunities for the Navy's 350,000 active service personnel, selected the Appian Enterprise solution last July, to power NKO, according to the company. Deployed in August 2002, NKO has over 165,000 registered users.
"The rapid adoption of Navy Knowledge Online further underscore the demand for an enterprise-wide, life long learning, personal development and knowledge management portal, to support not only the Navy's education and training initiatives, but also the way it does business," said Naval Personnel Development Command Knowledge Manager Captain James Kantner. "Navy Knowledge Online is quickly becoming the Navy's primary means of connecting sailors to the information and subject-matter expertise they need to be successful in their chosen careers, as well as to their peers, so that they can share and learn from each other's experiences," added Kantner.
Among the new software features available to the Navy, explained Appian, are enhanced support for communities of practice. This knowledge management capability will make it easier for users to self-organize into interactive, collaborative communities dedicated to a common concern, problem, or mission. Also in Appian Enterprise v.3.0, identity management and personalization technologies allow every command, group, and individual to dynamically create and share their community portal pages with populations of their choosing, based on individual or group profiles. Finally, the company says, by upgrading to Appian Enterprise v.3.0, NKO can leverage advanced content management, and Web analytics functionality to better tailor the site to sailors' needs.
Both the upgraded version of NKO and NKO-S will be deployed on BEA WebLogic Server, an application server provided by BEA Systems, Inc.

A lot of people are talking about Enterprise 2.0 as being the business application of Web 2.0 technology. However, there's still some debate on exactly what this technology entails, how it applies to today's business models, and which components bring true value. Some use the term Enterprise 2.0 exclusively to describe the use of social networking technologies in the enterprise, while others use it to describe a web economy platform, or the technological framework behind such a platform. Still others say that Enterprise 2.0 is all of these things. Learn More
