Here is some of the information about the latest update of this system in which the U.S Navy awarded the Appian Corporation a contract to include additional scaling of NKO, on-going support, maintenance, additional hardware, beta-testing of an at-sea version of the portal, and to upgrade the system to Appian Enterprise v.3.0, the latest version of their award-winning internet solution suite (Business Wire, 2003). Both the server-side hardware and software has been covered next will be the client-side hardware and software will be covered.
Client-Side Hardware Requirements The client-side hardware requirements for this information system are very simply and at the basic level user will only really need a computer, Internet, and a CAC reader. The computer will also need a modem to access the Internet and a Central Processing Unit (CPU), memory, keyboard, and mouse. This system can be accessed with any device that will allow for a CAC reader to be used.

Now that the competitive analysis of this system is completed, the recommendations for improving the system will be
