Portal / Intranet

Why a portal?

Companies accumulate and develop many programs and software systems. Ever changing business requirements drive the need to make more of the information contained in these systems available to all levels of the organization. Reports are out of date the moment they are printed. Access to vendor developed or custom developed software can provide discrete snapshots of information. However, in order to obtain a complete picture, a person may have to log in to several systems using separate identification and security codes.

Enter the portal.

Portals project the corporate identity through a common look and interface. They allow companies to bring to the screen all the information people need to do their jobs, and perform their roles using one sign on. The common interface navigation reduces the amount of training that is needed to be productive. Whether the information comes from a vendors financial system, an ERP, a CRM, or whatever the way the information is handled is all the same. Portals, coupled with business integration software, provide the kind of real-time (on-demand) information needed in executive decision making.

It is easy to see why Portals are a good choice for companies regardless of the kind of software that needs to run in the background.
