Press Release Body: Applied Knowledge Group (AKG) announced they have been selected
by the Institute for Defense Analysis (IDA) to provide technical support. IDA has
chosen to upgrade their current SharePoint portal from SharePoint Portal Server 2003

SharePoint certifications and in particular direct experience with MOSS migrations.

portal. Our technical staff is looking forward to the challenges involved in
migrating this complex portal and helping IDA use the new functionality available
with MOSS."
