Gold Fields www.goldfields.co.za, www.coemergence.com
Java/Web-based Opportunity and Threat Discovery
Project Lead: Rael Lipson, Chief Geologist
Project Description: With a strong emphasis on exploration in mining, Gold Fields has expanded Coemergence’s ACIS software
to include deposit production statistics, refined coordinates, and key geological information of gold deposits across the
globe. This robust, one-stop repository for information now allows both hard and soft data to be plotted in real time, linked
via GIS (Geographical Information System) from anywhere in the world. The Web-based ACIS solution is also used as the repository
of project reports and cash flow models. However, quality control of the database remains an ongoing challenge, and all team
members contribute to eliminating duplicates and correcting information. Having the modified and augmented ACIS software as
a springboard, Gold Fields has developed a multipronged strategy which is both opportunistic on a project level and proactive
toward long-term exploration.

Project Lead: Jerry Lekhter, Senior Manager, Customer Contact Center Design & Analysis
Project Description: With an estimated 6 million businesses and accountants using QuickBooks and Quicken financial software,
top-notch technical support is vital to both customers and support agents. To improve callback support, Intuit leveraged .Net,
Knowledgebase, CTI, and CRM technologies, developing a Web-driven technical support process called e-Submission. The e-Submission
process allows Intuit customers to submit their support issue to Intuit via the Web and receive a callback from a qualified
support agent, frequently in minutes.

Community of Practice for Logistics Workforce
Project Lead: Patrice Jackson, Chief Knowledge Strategist, Logistics Community Senior Manager, Focused Logistics Enterprise
Project Description: With 986 active members, the company’s Community of Practice technology and the strategy around it have
enabled Lockheed Martin to identify knowledge and connect talent horizontally across organizational time and physical boundaries.
Lockheed Martin's motto of "turning data into knowledge and knowledge into action" is evident in the horizontal integration
effort of Lognet. This network of logistics communities cuts across all business areas to develop standard processes and reuse
knowledge and technologies rather than constantly reinvent.
