Intuitive: It’s vital that these Portals are easy to use – unlike internal users Customers frequently have little chance to train or influence Portal users. Our Customers want external users to be able to access information with the minimum of fuss.
Robust: There’s no point educating Customers, Suppliers or Partners to use a Portal, only for them to find it unavailable when they want to use it. We’re competent in building high availability software.
Targeted: Portals are all about sharing information with Customers, Suppliers or Partners – this information needs to be reliable, up to date and relevant.
Secure: It’s just as important to stop unauthorised people from accessing information.
Accelerated Development: Over the last couple of years Microsoft have released a number of accelerators to speed up the development of Portals. We were quick to adopt these accelerators as the basis for our work. These gave us a great start in creating our Portals, providing us with a robust toolkit, reducing our development time and saving our Customers money.
