PORTAL SOLUTIONS

The enterprise portals are becoming the core element of business activity in today’s world. These contain elements of information, functional and industry specific processes and data to integrate all core business applications at one place available for employees, business partners and customers. HICRON consultants have many years of experience in designing and implementing portal solutions based on SAP NetWeaver technology, delivering them to companies in Poland and abroad.

A portal is much more than an interactive flashy Web Site to publish reports or marketing material. Enterprise Portal is a web based business-critical system including:

- Integrated information view and bussiness applications
- A collaborative environment
- Seamless integrtion between BI, OLTP and Knowledge Management Systems.

The typical portal offers a single point of access to different information sources, enterprise applications, information repositories, databases and services in and outside your organization — all integrated into a single user experience. It provides the tools to manage this knowledge, to analyze and interrelate it, and to share and collaborate on the basis of it. With its role-based content, and personalization features, the portal enables users — from employees and customers to partners and suppliers — to focus exclusively on data relevant to daily decision-making processes.

The key capabilities of the portal within SAP NetWeaver are as follows:

Knowledge Management
Offers capabilities that everyone can use to distribute, access, and manage unstructured information within an organization through a heterogeneous repository landscape. Capabilities include collaborative document authoring and publishing, version management, search and navigation through taxonomies, automated classification and subscription, and more.

Collaboration
Brings users, information, and applications together to ensure successful cooperation. All collaboration tools and channels are easily accessible directly from the portal. These tools include collaboration rooms, instant messaging, chat, e-mail, and calendar integration.

Guided Procedures
Offers a set of functions that enables a business expert to create reusable components and model people-centric business workflows with them. At runtime, business users can initiate a process from a process template, and follow its execution until completion. The integration of interactive forms into the Guided Procedures framework enables the implementation of online and offline form-based processes.
