Reston, Va., [August 20, 2010] Applied Knowledge Group’s (AKG) knowledge management solutions built on SharePoint were awarded one of KMWorld Magazine’s Trend Setting Products of 2010. As featured in the September 2010 issue, AKG’s approach to building KM solutions on SharePoint includes a comprehensive strategy that goes beyond the technology to incorporate a unique user adoption strategy. AKG builds solutions with the users, translating the way they work into SharePoint.
“We don’t just move the client’s existing processes into the new tool (SharePoint), but help users examine them and look for ways to improve them using the functionality inherent in SharePoint” explains Andy Campbell, Co-Founder and Senior Partner for AKG. “Client involvement in this iterative process is one of the critical components of our success.”
“AKG understands that knowledge assets are a critical resource, and ensuring the health of an organizations information sharing capability is essential” notes Hugh McKellar Editor in Chief of KMWorld. “Their unique user adoption approach toward building KM Solutions on SharePoint made them stand out this year.”
The Trend-Setting Products awards began in 2003. This year, more than 600+ products were assessed by the judging panel, which consists of editorial colleagues, analysts, system integrators, vendors themselves (sometimes even competitive ones), line-of-business managers and users. The products selected for 2010 clearly demonstrate identifiable technology breakthroughs that serve the vendors’ full spectrum of constituencies, especially their customers.
