DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 28, 2001

KSolutions, Inc., a knowledge management services and solutions provider, announced today that it is delivering Microsoft's SharePoint Portal Server on a pilot basis.

KSolutions' trained practitioners are utilizing SharePoint Portal Server to implement a business intelligence dashboard and comprehensive program/project management pilot at two client sites in the United States.

Additional solutions development continues at their expanding Dallas-based Technology Competency Center, which will soon be available for executive briefings, prototypes and engagement support.

KSolutions' unique delivery approach to solving knowledge management challenges combined with the broad-scope functionality of SharePoint Portal Server reduces the time for companies to capture, classify and share knowledge across their enterprise, leading to reusable fact-based and experience-based decision making.
