In designing and implementing an Web Portal, many organisations have difficulty in:
P Sharing data and collaborating across organisational boundaries
P Implementing a business-driven solution, not a 'technology-push' solution.
It is often difficult for organisations to share information effectively, and to develop a culture of collaboration across organisational boundaries.
We have extensive experience in addressing these issues, and can tailor an approach to meet your specific needs within the context of your oraganisational culture.
We can help you to address organisational issues as part of developing an Web Portal, then advise on the most appropriate technologies to meet them.
Technology vendors sell their wares very actively, which can result in solutions that are driven by technology push rather than real business needs.
We often find that appropriate technologies are substantially simpler and less costly if a business-driven approach is taken rather than a technology-driven approach.
This is particularly the case because Web Portals usually combine technologies for managing and accessing documents, multi-media, and tabular data, and also require directory, classification, and collaboration services.
However, vendors have typically started with a successful core product in one of these areas, then added a 'Portal capability' to this successful core product. The result is often that the technology offered becomes poorer the further it departs from the original, successful core product offering.
