Improving Interaction through Portals and Collaboration

Portals play a key role in virtually every organization today for improving access to information, business process improvement, and communication and collaboration.  Portals and collaboration solutions can have a significant impact on improving the experience of users both internally and externally.


Key Solution Types


Intranets

Intranets are a powerful tool for interacting with employees.  The intranet portal provides a single place for an organization to deliver content to all employees along with being the daily point of entry for employees to collaborate. 


Extranets

Extranets provide a powerful method for organizations to securely interact with their customers and partners via the web to provide better service and access to information.  


Project Collaboration

Virtually every organization has projects.  Some projects are internal, others are external involving a customer or a partner.  Almost every project has similar collaboration needs.


Composite Applications

A composite application is a "one stop shop" solution that brings together information from multiple sources about a particular topic such as a product, service or project.


Enterprise Social Computing

Enterprise social computing is the trend of applying social approaches such as blogs, wikis and microblogging within an organization.


Enterprise Search

Searching is a familiar method of finding information for all internet users.  Enterprise search allows organizations to find documents, data and experts within an organization.
