Success Stories
Our Enterprise 2.0 projects have been recognized across the industry with more than 40
awards, including:
• Open Enterprise Innovation Award (2009). We
were honored to receive this industry salute for
our embrace of collaborative and transformative
Enterprise 2.0 tools. Booz Allen’s hello.bah.com
Enterprise 2.0 platform provides firm information,
employee resources, people profiles, communities,
and a suite of web 2.0 collaboration tools, including
blogs, forums, wikis, workspaces, and SharePoint-
integrated bookmarks. Hello was built for a user base
of more than 25,000 staff dispersed throughout the
United States and overseas.
• Forrester Groundswell Award for Employee Social
Application (2010). The All Partners Access Network
(APAN), jointly developed by the US Pacific Command,
Booz Allen, and Cubic Corporation, was recognized
for effectively using social technologies to advance
organizational goals. APAN is an information-sharing
platform that streamlines the exchange of informa-
tion between various US government agencies,
nongovernmental organizations, and international
partners. In the aftermath of the Haiti earthquake, users established a Haitian Relief
Virtual Group through APAN to facilitate discussions about response problems and to facili-
tate information sharing among relief organizations, the US military, the Haitian people,
and relief workers on the ground. In March 2011, the APAN community again sprang into
action to support victims of the Japanese earthquake and tsunami.
• American Council for Technology and Industry Advisory Council (ACT-IAC)
Excellence.Gov Award (2010). APAN also won the award for Excellence in
Intergovernmental Collaboration from ACT-IAC, whose Excellence.gov awards program
recognizes programs that use IT to advance the business of government in an effective,
efficient, and innovative manner.
