Knowledge Portal

We work with agencies to help them understand the importance of sharing knowledge of agency missions, goals, and values across all organizational lines. We help agencies realize the full potential of their employees by helping them develop processes to share knowledge throughout organizations by establishing and managing a central content database for secure access to Government off the Shelf (GOTS) content use and application. Connect to the Knowledge Portal.

Knowledge Portal products include:

Learning Management Services

The Knowledge Portal supports the online education and training requirements of 40+ small agencies via cloud-based, customizable Learning Management and Learning Content Management System support.
