Portals

Portals are web-applications that enable companies to unlock internally stored information and provide users with a single gateway of personalized information and knowledge to make informed business decisions. Portals are designed to aggregate, streamline and simplify Business to Customer (B2C), Business to Employee (B2E) and Business to Partner (B2P) communications and interactions. The ability to quickly and securely share information with customers, partners and employees is a must in today's market. In today's' knowledge driven economy, portals have become integrated platforms for information delivery, communication, collaboration and automating business processes through interconnected applications and web services. Some of the businesses today which are driving the portal business worldwide are

  • Social Networks and Communities

Comparative and collaborative websites are on the rise today. Web 2.0 is having its own interpretations and companies are matured from the last time round in handling revenues. Organisations are increasingly spending enormous time in packaging, delivering content and driving a revenue stream around it. Technology is incidental and is a not a growth driver. The perceived differences between business and IT are disappearing and models are arising that treat them as one cost unit.
