What is a web portal and whatWill it do for you?

Portal Software DevelopersMount Uniacke, NS B0N 1Z0

A portal is a like a building…

The public can see the outside, but only those who register can see the inside (even then they are only in the lobby) until they are granted access to other parts of the building.

Overview:

Definition of Today’s Portals

Traditionally, a portal denotes a gate, a door, or entrance. In the context of the World Wide Web, it is the next logical step in the evolution to a digital culture. Web pages are not completely self-referential anymore, but allow for personalization, workflow, notification, knowledge management and groupware, infrastructure functionality, and integration of information and applications. The idea of a portal is to collect information from different sources and create a single point of access to information - a library of categorized and personalized content. It is very much the idea of a personalized filter into the web.

Portal Predicates at a glance

What a portal does:

• Enables universal login • Handles both structured and unstructured data • Facilitates multi-channel consistency • Facilitates messaging and notification • Automated tuning: pervasive content can be tuned based on

personalization, location, browser, etc. • Integrates with other systems

Key features of portals:

• Security

• Access different data

• Transactions

• Search

• Publish Content

• Personal Content

What a portal is not:

• It is not just a Website (which is usually characterized by static information)

• It is not just a personalized intranet • It is not just a personalized extranet • It is not just a personalized front end for business

applications • It is not just groupware • It is not just a personalized knowledge management

solution • It is not just a sophisticated search engine

• Instead, a portal is nothing less than just one personalizable, browser based user interface to all the components mentioned above.

Portal Administration TAKE CONTROL NOW! …. A content management system (CMS) makes

life online much easier!

•You are no longer dependent on web designers or technical staff to make changes for you.•Changes can be made by YOU any time day or night,

from ANYWHERE. •CMS handles the technical details, allowing YOU to

control and update your website, with little or no technical training.•YOU CONTROL which staff member can update

which sections of the website for your approval. The CMS will track who is doing what, avoiding confusion.•The graphic ”look and feel” of YOUR CHOICE on

every page, regardless of the content. It automatically applies to new pages you add. •Instantly send personalized email or newsletters

directly to prospects, customers, suppliers, or staff, one on one or as a group. •Internet and secure intranet functions are at your

fingertips.

Administration

Totally Modular

Modules are pieces of code that each present some functionality to the user, like a personnel contacts list, events calendar, or a list of announcements. CMS WebPortal comes with a wide variety of content modules, each designed to manage a common type of website or portal content.

Typically, several content modules are grouped on a portal page to create a web page. Modules can be added, edited, deleted, restored, moved on a page, or transfer to another page.

Adding a module is as simple as plugging it into the page.

Modules can be set to deliver content according to the calendar.

The admin decides who sees and edits which modules.

We'll help you succeed... or no dice.

Gifford built the web presence for my company, Buell Group, and I highly recommend him to anyone who wants a robust system.

My background is running tech companies and his software solutions would typically cost between $10,000 - $50,000 by having them built by someone else.

I work with a lot of technical people and he is hands-down one of the best technical minds I have ever worked with and very accommodating to his customers. I can’t say enough about how many options his software gives us. It’s absolutely awesome.
