    Portal Solutions

    From Start Page to High-Performance Workplace

    Portals have matured in the past five years to enable various teams to collaborate by providing contextual views of their data, information and processes. As such, Enterprise Portals have paved the way to information consolidation by integrating different enterprise systems in a process-oriented fashion to enable users to complete multi-steps activities without the need of accessing several systems and to benefit of a personalized source of corporate wide information.

    Advances in the World Wide Web (a.k.a. Web 2.0) such as the iGoogle and Netvibes success stories, social forums, user-generated content, micro formats and the semantic web keep pushing the envelope and suggest improvements to Enterprise Portal Solutions in ever more useful ways unleashing the true potential of the High-Performance Workplace.

    • Cambridge's Answer: Increased Productivity through Information Architecture

    It is common to face challenges in integrating a new application in the enterprise business portfolio without causing extra strain on the employee's workload. Cambridge Portal Solutions will assist you in setting up a common high level information architecture which will shorten the time users spending looking for information and functionality across the portfolio, independently of their organizational affiliation.

  • One main goal within developing a portal is to group and structure the portal in a way to reduce the time employee spend looking for information/ specific application.
  • Information Architecture (IA) is the term used to describe the structure of a system, i.e. the way information is grouped, the navigation methods and terminology used within the system.
  • The IA enables people to step logically through a system confident they are getting closer to the information they require.
  • Most people only notice information architecture when it is poor and stops them from finding the information they require.
