CompanyCommand - proposed case study
This page http://tagunity.wikispaces.com/companycommand DRAFT 1161150597

CompanyCommand is an online community portal used by commanders in the US Army. The literature on the portal, and related writings by member of the team behind CompanyCommand argues that technologies can be used to support the professional activites of members of communities of practice (CoPs). Initially CommpanyCommand was little more than a bright idea developed by two commanders who saw that trainee commanders needed to have access to the experience and knowledge of current past-serving commanders. One challenge was that past and present commanders were spread across several countries and time zones. They proposed a simple web site where commanders could link up wiht their peers.

The technolgy behind CompanyCommand web portal is developed by http://www.tomoye.com/, a Canadian based Content Management System (CMS) vendor.
