I advise using commercial portal software in your enterprise solutions, but I also think it will be necessary to do research in this regard. First, determine the criteria about how to improve productivity in your company and the needs of your company. For this, I suggest consultation. Regarding the reports and productivity outcomes, it is necessary to decide on alternative Knowledge Management portals. Your counselor can help you decide on the best solution and decision.

We should not forget that although commercial portal software includes very strong mechanisms, they may not meet your needs thoroughly. Commercial portal software may not be flexible enough to meet the needs of every company. In these situations, compose your solution with the software already existing in your company (such as operating system, Office, web server, database) and with your IT department.

In this article I will try to tell you how to make a simple portal solution that is customized to your company by using solely Microsoft technologies. This will provide you with a one-to-one solution oriented to the needs of your company and will form your information management mechanism with your own sources.

The purpose of this article not to assert that commercial portal software is unnecessary, but to seriously address the administration of the information produced in your company to improve productivity. This will be the most important step of your business. It will be more accurate to find the medium you need or to install the necessary mechanisms after reports about your needs are prepared.

Purpose

The portal application aims to create a secure, customizable, manageable, and easy-to-use web-based platform for organizational users to share and access vital corporate knowledge efficiently on a need-to-know basis.

The user-friendly interface of the portal application helps users to customize and personalize the portal according to their needs. It also enables users to work in a more comfortable and efficient environment to maximize creativity.

The vital corporate information within the portal application platform is accessed via 128 bit encrypted Secure Socket Layer (SSL) connection, thus protecting the corporate knowledge from eavesdroppers.

The portal application serves as a corporate single sign-on entry-point for all the applications within the organization, thus enabling customized and personalized control over the applications within the organization from a single point.

The vital corporate information that is kept within the portal application platform is structured in a special way so that the information is not associated with individual users. Instead, the information is associated with user roles so that the collective information is used to create a corporate knowledge instead of a personal one.

Overall, the use of the portal application helps users form a corporate knowledge, aids decision-making, accessing and sharing of information, and activities management.
