Portal Technologies
Portals provide information, services, applications, and processes in a bundled, easy-to-use form. Thanks to single sign-on – that is, central authorization control – users have direct access to heterogeneous systems and data. A content and/or document management system is often connected, too.
The portal solutions that we implement offer more than standard functionality. For instance, they provide rights-based personalization: Each user is given access to precisely the content, functions, and links for which he or she is authorized. This increases the security of the applications and the data, but also the ease of use for employees. What’s more, such a portal based on service-oriented architecture (SOA) can be enhanced to become a platform for processing integrated business processes.
Genuine Enterprise Search Engines!
We can develop powerful search engines for your existing or future corporate portal, which search not only documents and static content, but also programs and dynamic content. As a result, business objects and processes can be unearthed across applications – for example, the accompanying delivery can be found in addition to the order itself. You’ll be able to see and analyze processes distributed across several applications in context. And of course, you’ll be able to filter the information displayed according to a wide variety of criteria.
Our search engines – which can also be deployed as standalone solutions – take account of user authorizations for content, functions, and applications right at the search stage, that is, in the search index. This makes searching very fast and efficient, because not all files and programs need to be searched. Authorizations can be defined flexibly and in great detail, which is a characteristic rarely found in other commonly found search engines.
The opportunities presented by portals can only be fully exhausted in combination with powerful enterprise search engines, smart access control, and complex filter mechanisms. With the latest portal technologies, we unlock these opportunities for you – and give you a portal solution with a personalized, integrated work environment containing the information and functions required by each individual.
Our service offering for portal technologies comprises: consulting, architecture design, software development and support.
