Retail Portals      Put simply, portals are white hot ....    Retail Management    View examples      Gift Card Marketing  View information

Portals were a place to aggregate information providing employees or customers a unified view or dashboard. Today, portals have outgrown that role, integrating business processes. Once portals provided access to information users needed, they're now integrating processes users need to do their jobs. Many believe, portals will be a master framework under which all applications and Web services are built, managed and accessed.

Portal processes provide much-needed ease of use, hiding horrible user interfaces & delivering functionality needed to accomplish specific tasks, embedded in streamlined business processes. A large well known computer industry player implemented a portal integrating its personnel, web services and process roles, resulting in a saving of $50 million in its first 6 months of operation. Many people don't have offices at this company any more, just their cell phones & laptops. Portals are one of the few technologies representing a "no-brainer". Consistent - and compatible - with virtually all new applications companies are installing, helping to simplify IT infrastructure by making ever more applications accessible from the ubiquitous browser. Deployed on a corporate wide basis, they deliver the kind of centralisation of applications most companies may have only dreamed about in the past.
