Portal Development
In both Intranets and standard web sites, Portals have become an excellent way to provide users with access to information relevant to them, and even allow the users to select the content they want to see. These types of web applications really put information at business professionals' fingertips, allowing them to make better decisions, and stay ahead of the competition.
Coporate Intranets are the most popular applications for Portals, allowing internal system information such as Payroll, Benefits, Vacation/Sick leave, and competitive analysis to be placed at business user's fingertips.
Streamlining internal business processes is easily facilitated through a Portal application, giving the appropriate users access to workflows that pertain to them, but hiding thoughs that do not.
Internal Portals offer even greater value to businesses when coupled with employee blogs. Employee blogs are great feedback mechanisms for decision-makers within businesses, allowing them to take criticism and applause from their own employees. Blogs also allow for information archiving. Searching through corporate blogs is a great way to find answers to questions that may have been answered in the past.
