Enterprise portals are implemented for various reasons, depending upon business environments, priorities, and pain-points of an organization. Examples include:
- To consolidate enterprise information assets under one roof, categorized and searchable for fast retrieval
- To connect and integrate various technologies and applications, providing a single face on heterogeneous systems
- To avoid information overload and redundancy by providing a single place for posting of content that enforces information architecture rules and provides greater visibility of information
- To make life easier for users, establishing one place for all business content, with a consolidated security model and with awareness of their organizational role
AgileThought is a leading vendor-neutral consultancy with extensive experience in the design, development, and operational support of complex enterprise portals. As we design and implement a portal, we know that our primary goal is to create an information architecture that:
- Enables users to quickly find the information/services they are looking for
- Exposes users to additional related information
- Assists users in making business decisions
We also have experience helping companies through the challenge of defining and implementing a portal governance model. We educate the content owners within an enterprise, breaking down barriers between “content silos” and enabling the creation of truly user-centric portals.
Our team of portal experts can not only design the information structure and user experience, but we also provide deep software development expertise that allows us to fully implement the design on a wide variety of technology platforms. In the past 12 months, our portal teams have successfully implemented enterprise portals on the following platforms: Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS), IBM WebSphere, and BEA ALUI (formerly Plumtree).
