Prospect Technologies has just been awarded a contract to support the efforts of the DOD Knowledge Worker Program at the Business Process Reengineering [BPR] Implementation Center in Arlington, VA.

This work will provide program management support for the Knowledge Worker System [KWS]. KWS is a software package specifically designed to help simplify the job of knowledge workers. KWS assists knowledge workers in organizing and prioritizing their tasks efficiently. By sorting all schedule information in a central data base, KWS keeps workers up-to-date on scheduled events and schedule changes The software stores detailed information useful in completing major processes across the enterprise and supports the development of best practices and reuse of process intelligence across the organization.

KWS captures and retains corporate knowledge of an organization while automating labor intensive tasks. It also links IDEF models to tasks.

Specifically, Prospect Technologies will provide planning and analytical support for the KWS Program Manager. The intent of this work is to develop a "best practice" of managing and enlarging the current KWS program.

"I am pleased to be able to support the outstanding work done by DOD's KWS Program", said Bill Lewis, President of Prospect Technologies. "We are excited to see how to support the rich and robust KWS software in the Federal Government as well as commercial organizations. KWS appears to be an excellent tool to help complex organizations understand and manage their work. It also – using BPR techniques! – provides an intelligent process tool which facilitates change management and enterprise wise communications. This attribute makes KWS an extremely welcome management tool for a number of different businesses and government agencies."
