In our Fourth 'On Location' documentary-style case study we take to the high seas to explore the U.S. Navy's Knowledge Online project. NKO is driven by the business of the Navy--making a lean, mean, sea-borne fighting machine. It was built in just four months on a shoestring budget in the face of naysayers who predicted that such a project would take years and billions of dollars. We find out why its creators chose a low-profile vendor, Appian Corp., and allow enlisted personnel to sound off in the NKO discussion boards. Clearly, they're doing something right: NKO is growing at a rate of 1,000 users per day, and was approaching 200,000 at press time. Future coverage will include print and online progress reports, and our online forum will let you post questions, comments and suggestions.
