Portal Diversity

this article tries to breakdown and define the various portal offerings … it’s worth a read even if it’s a bit obvious is some cases.

“Almost every major software vendor offers a portal solution. It’s no wonder: With organizations striving to provide internal and external users with an intuitive way to access relevant content, browser-based portals are a strategic part of any e-business initiative. In a recent Meta Group survey, 78 percent of organizations indicated future portal efforts would include employees as targets. That figure is far greater than the 53 percent that plan to target customers and 32 percent aiming at suppliers.”

Business to Employee: People want to share knowledge

From: Interactive Week: “one area that seems to be bucking the [downward] trend is the field of business-to-employee applications. Companies servicing this sector are reporting healthy revenue and, in fact, a number of firms are making new investments in B2E ventures.”

“B2E’s favored status comes from the simple fact that companies, big and small, have reported significant gains – both in cost reductions and productivity improvements – from implementing B2E applications. They cover the gamut from self-service access to … portals aimed at improving collaboration and communications among staff. What they have in common is a relatively low cost of implementation and a high return on investment (ROI).”

Excite.com, Yahoo, AltaVista and others have all lost their luster in recent months as they have found revenue much more difficult to attract than readers.” … However, $5B from AOL a few years ago isn’t something i’d cry about …
