Portals & Channels
An evolution to “Multi-channel”
Portal - as the natural backbone any role-based solutions like Corporate Intranets, B2B and B2C extranets.
Portal – as probably the most misused web-term, representing everything from a simple website, as front-end for a specific task (BI-portal, HR-portal…) to full-blown Corporate Portals.
Portal – as battle between different platforms (SAP NetWeaver, Microsoft SharePoint, IBM WebSphere).
Regardless of who you talk with, you will get a new angle – colored by personal emotions. At Xpicio, we meet this every day.
Reduce to Grow
At the same time, is the portal “hype” gone. But during the last few years have enterprises has realized the importance of portal consolidation, in terms of reduction of:
- Entry-point for users (Intranets, BI-portal, ERP applications etc.)
- Portal Platforms (NetWeaver, SharePoint…)
The users (internal or external) and business drivers has also overtime expanded the scope. Modern enterprises require also:
- stronger support for collaborative features
- robust tools for information management (WCM)
- multiple output channels (web, B2B, Intranet, Mobile, surf-tablets)
- content re-usage across these channels
- better administrative tools
- at a much faster time-to-market
IT needs to reduce numbers of components to be able to faster deliver new capabilities to the business.
