Press Release Summary = Applied Knowledge Group, Inc.'s (AKG) assistance was cited
as a cornerstone of the highly successful Microsoft SharePoint implementation at the
Federal Aviation Administration, known as the Knowledge Services Network.

Press Release Body = Applied Knowledge Group, Inc.'s (AKG) assistance was cited in
the February 2006 CorasWorks® e-newsletter Workplace Monthly as a cornerstone of the
highly successful Microsoft SharePoint implementation at the Federal Aviation
Administration. The FAA's Knowledge Services Network is built on a SharePoint
platform and has grown from a modest start of 30 active users to over 22,000 today.


Building their SharePoint adoption strategy around the four pillars of People,
Process, Technology and Learning, Ronald Simmons led the FAA to set the stage to
become known for its users' high level of adoption and innovation. At the recent
Microsoft Public Sector CIO Summit, the FAA's KSN implementation, with Mr. Simmons
at the helm, was cited as a "flagship" adoption program for SharePoint
implementation.

The FAA considers its success directly linked to the fact that with the help of AKG
they have tapped the user-friendly features of SharePoint and carefully created an
environment that encouraged innovation at the workgroup level. By supplying the
necessary tools to allow various project leaders to deploy a SharePoint solution to
meet their specific business needs, the FAA set the stage for improved
collaboration, even among widely dispersed workers.

been featured in a recent Microsoft corporation case study, which can be read on the
Microsoft website.
