U.S. Army Selects Verity for its Army Knowledge Online Portal
Verity K2 Enterprise Provides Information Retrieval Capabilities for Massive Intranet
SUNNYVALE, Calif - 2003-03-11 - Verity, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRTY), a leading provider of enterprise software that helps organizations maximize the return on their intellectual capital investment, today announced its K2 Enterprise (K2E) software is utilized by the U.S. Army on its Army Knowledge Online (AKO) intranet.
On a user-basis, AKO is one of the largest portals of its kind in the world. Currently, more than 1.27 million Army employees and retirees are registered to use AKO. According to Col. Timothy Fong, director of chief technology office, NETCOM, "AKO is the Army's enterprise portal. It is the only site that any soldier, retiree or civilian needs to go to handle a myriad of operational, procedural and personal information matters, from administrative tasks, online education and training, to checking benefits. The Army uses the Verity K2E product to index, search, and retrieve the large and growing amount of information on the AKO site."
The decision to power the AKO's site with K2E software was made after extensive scrutiny that included an Army-conducted pilot test. Like most large corporate intranets, the thousands of documents currently on the AKO site is expected to grow exponentially. Beyond that, the Army also provides direct links to information on other military sites, requiring the swift search, data indexing capabilities and flexibility that K2E offers.
According to Anthony J. Bettencourt, Verity's president and chief executive officer, "The Army's use of K2E enables it to better leverage the intellectual capital residing in AKO, permitting all of its personnel to more easily perform a wide range of activities as well as make faster, better informed decisions. We are honored to see Verity's K2E applied as the full-range intellectual capital management solution for this crucial Army online environment."
Verity K2E platform lets K2E users discover, organize and connect with their enterprise's greatest information assets -- an array of documents and the experts behind them, who know and understand those businesses.
