Using a corporate portal can highly increase your employees' productivity and build your firm a competitive edge, owing to the following features:
  • Single point of entry. The portal provides a single point of entry into your company for all your clients, employees and partners, from anywhere in the world. Access is provided by multi-channel devices such as laptops, PDA's and mobile phones.
  • Single Sign On. The platform offers a Single Sign On (SSO) mechanism to enable a unique identification for all company applications.
  • Customization. We provide customization and personalization features to enhance the user experience, and to ease the introduction of the new worktool.
  • Look and feel. The portal provides for a unified look and feel that reflects and presents the dynamism of your company's communication policy.
  • Communication tools. The platform provides powerful communication and groupware tools in both synchronous and asynchronous modes, allowing a direct and efficient exchange of information between users, business units, and the entire company environment. Furthermore, the Learning Management System (LMS) leverages the value of the coporate portal infrastructure by providing virtual classes and asynchronous lessons.
  • Enterprise Application Integration. With the portal users have an efficient way to realize real time operational tasks. Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) is perfectly managed and a higer Return On Investment (ROI) on every single application is observed.
  • Third party applications. The portal offers an easy access to third parties applications, such as Enterprise Resource Plannings (ERP) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) tools, Supply Chain Management engines, electronic Human Resources (e-HR) applications, e-procurements, financial and data-mining modules.
A consolidated portal page is composed of one or more portlets which serve as independent views of information or give access to various types of functionality. Portlets are written and customized for your specific environment by programmers to i.e. enable centralized access to news articles from various corporate departments.

Thus, a portal's roles can be extremely diverse. The successful portal platform will be flexible enough to accommodate the potential wide range of environments, formats, delivery mechanisms and user access policies of your organization and provide additional adaptability for the future.
