For similar organizations

The NCMS server components are clearly applicable to other industry consortia, but also to professional and trade associations, civic networks, and other member-oriented organizations.

Within an organization

Many organizations could use a similarly-featured server as an internal information repository and collaboration forum, in much the same way that Lotus Notes is often applied.

For customer service

Companies could use this server as the basis of an online customer support center, in much the same way companies currently use services like Compuserve and America Online to provide online technical support files and customer forums.

For network access providers

Network access providers could use this server as a front end interface to both local and Internet information resources.
