Enterprise Portals
Enterprise Portal Solutions are leveraged by organizations in different ways. As the rapidly emerging standard for web development, portals are utilized as frameworks to quickly create business solutions targeted at a wide array of constituents, including employees, customers, partners and suppliers. As industry characteristics are applied, constituent groups diversify further; for example, higher education's need to consider students, faculty, alumni, and administration. The ability to rapidly assemble pre-built components (commonly called portlets) into a composite application providing specific business functionality is a very compelling advantage.
A wide variety of portal types and diverse uses provides cost reduction, revenue enhancement and intangible business benefits, including improved customer/employee satisfaction and retention, faster time to market with new applications, reduced support and training costs via self service, increased productivity, and enhanced decision-making.
Types of Portal Solutions include:
- Employee and HR Intranets.
- Digital Dashboards and Decision Support Systems.
- Community and Collaboration Solutions.
- Customer-Focused Portals and Self Service Applications .
- Partner and Supplier Extranets.
- Knowledge Management Systems.
On the enterprise architecture front, portals are rapidly becoming a core element of an organization's new strategic Internet infrastructure. As such, a future state blueprint, strategic vendor selection, and portal consolidation initiatives are common themes with organizations that have been providing portal services for some time.
