Revolutionizing Information Access to Increase Productivity and Drive the Bottom Line
Overview
A look inside enterprise portals, the new technology that gives
employees one-stop access to ALL their company's information resources.
"Customers of AOL don't realize it, but they're using a ""portal"" when
they go online. A portal provides a ""home""--a place to get news, stock
prices, or whatever else interests you.
A ""corporate portal"" is the same concept--but it's for the employees
of a business. It provides them with a single point of entry into all
the information their company's systems contain. Through one
user-friendly interface, employees can send e-mail, schedule meetings,
check inventory, fill out forms, request sales reports--and on and on!
Enterprise portal technology is a breakthrough! Corporate Portals
explains what the technology is, supplies an analysis of its tremendous
benefits, and explains how to design and propose a corporate portal
solution to decision-makers. Benefits include:
* Ability to customize the portal design to individuals' needs
* Powerful search and navigation capabilities, with direct access to
reports, analyses, and what-if scenarios across multiple systems and
applications
* Knowledge sharing--immediate ability to connect with subject experts
and team members, or to post findings and research for anyone who needs
it, and more."
