Book Description

"Customers of AOL don't realize it, but they're using a "portal" when they go online. A portal provides a "home" - a place to get news, stock prices, or whatever else interests you. A "corporate portal" is the same concept - but it's for the employees of a business. It provides them with a single point of entry into all the information their company's systems contain. Through one user-friendly interface, employees can send e-mail, schedule meetings, check inventory, fill out forms, request sales reports - and on and on! Enterprise portal technology is a breakthrough! Corporate Portals explains what the technology is, supplies an analysis of its tremendous benefits, and explains how to design and propose a corporate portal solution to decision-makers. Benefits include: * Ability to customize the portal design to individuals' needs * Powerful search and navigation capabilities, with direct access to reports, analyses, and what-if scenarios across multiple systems and applications * Knowledge sharing - immediate ability to connect with subject experts and team members, or to post findings and research for anyone who needs it, and more."

5.0 out of 5 stars A comprehensive portal approach, July 29 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Corporate Portals: Revolutionizing Information Access to Increase Productivity and Drive the Bottom Line (Hardcover)

Corporate Portals is a great reference book. I have a solid picture of what I want the portal to accomplish to create a lower cost of ownership of technology as we plan and budget for the future. I highly recommend you purchase this book and map your portal to fit your business and process strategy. The material gives you a logical path forward to establish a business case you can use to plan and execute your portal implementation to drive benefits. Thank you Ms. Collins.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent portal overview, July 15 2002

Cindy (Cambridge, MA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Corporate Portals: Revolutionizing Information Access to Increase Productivity and Drive the Bottom Line (Hardcover)

Thank you, Heidi!! I feel like I have a much better understanding of what to ask when looking at portal solutions. If you are focused on search and taxonomy features as a first step into portals,the questions Heidi provides will enable you to drill into what each vendor's search and taxonomy offerings are and how they implement them. There are a lot of differences and you will not been able to make the right choices early in the process without Corporate Portals. If you need a portal, this is a great place to learn and get started.

This review is from: Corporate Portals: Revolutionizing Information Access to Increase Productivity and Drive the Bottom Line (Hardcover)

I have found this book to be extremely helpful to me in my independent consulting practice. Understanding what to think about, focus on, and pull together in order to discuss corporate portals with my clients was more than worth the price. I learned much about what to truly expect from the myriad vendor products available; this enabled me to effectively evaluate the products and architecture differences in enterprise portal software solutions. If you want to know the right questions and specific issues to concentrate on when looking for a corporate portal -- this book will be very valuable to you.

2.0 out of 5 stars Don't judge the book by the cover.
I read the first 4 chapters, find the book to be ridiculously repetitious and it appeared to me that the author's message was constantly and repeatedly "Corporate Portals are Good... Read more
