Decision Support Systems
Portal
Enhanced user productivity, increased user satisfaction, intuitive working
environment and a dynamic and flexible framework for future agility.
Web portals provide a personalized view of your organization, helping you,
your customers, partners and suppliers work together better. Portals provide
role-based access to what you need, when you need it. They provide a
rapid ‘standardization layer for merged or acquired companies to enable brand
standardisation and rapid access to users across diverse systems to maximise
time to performance for the newly formed enterprise.
Portals allow you to customize your work environment to your own needs,
present resources in a consistent fashion, and can provide a personalized
experience based upon your previous preferences or specific role within an
organization.
Portal software connects all stake holders, enables enhanced communication,
provides the environment for collaboration and enhances process efficiency.
Portals also support information sharing within and beyond the enterprise.
Core portal services include role-based access to applications and content,
search, personalization and security, along with new portlet development and
Web 2.0 capabilities, enabling exceptional user experiences that include a
higher level of responsiveness and usability. Portals can integrate with other
vendors’ collaboration, security and extended search systems, and still provide
a reliable point of access to your information, applications and people.
The underlying Portal framework provides common services – like access control,
integration, administration and presentation – across IT environments.
Portal opens windows into existing systems more easily - making it easy to
integrate existing Web applications directly into a portal – allowing Web
applications to be merged into dynamic, portal-based composite applications,
both preserving and increasing the value of existing IT investments.

Portal can enable a rapid user environment which provides a common look and
feel to systems from both companies – rapidly enabling a personalized,
productive environment for users.
Enhanced and extended search capabilities then provide the additional
information ‘findability’ which maximizes the benefit of all the pertinent
information across the newly formed enterprise to maximise the benefit of the
combined information resources. Enterprise search also supports due
diligence for rapidly locating information and data from across the acquired
enterprise’s systems.
Systems Integration enables system consolidation, process integration and
maximum efficiency of the IT environment and the company processes and
compliance requirements without having a negative impact on users.
