The National Association of Counties (NACo) wanted to help county governments share knowledge and collaborate with each other. It piloted two Web-based portals using Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003. One portal, for the sharing of software applications, was developed by Microsoft Gold Certified Partner Kanalytics and involved NACo joining the Microsoft Solutions Sharing Network (SSN) initiative. Another portal, for general information sharing and collaboration for NACo steering committees, was developed by Microsoft Gold Certified Partner Quilogy. NACo's new collaborative technology environment enables county governments to implement new technologies faster and save money by capitalizing on existing IT investments, in addition to increasing transparency by opening up NACo committee deliberations to all member counties.
