A digital transformation journey usually includes a
comprehensive review and analysis of the current business. In lots of cases,
organizations recognize that they need to renovate their business processes and
better engage with employees, customers, and partners.
The users should be able to more easily find and access
information and self-services via an intuitive entry point. This is exactly
where a portal helps organizations to build and manage intuitive business
sites.
Use cases
1) A very common scenario to start with is self- service launchpads for employees and managers. In every company, there is a need to provide central access to applications and workflow items. Users not only expect the services to be available inside the corporate network, but also via an Internet connection for employees on the road.
2) Secondly, we see a need for domain-specific home pages, such as human resources. In this area, line of business experts bring together business transactions and managed content such as documents, news, policies, and guidelines.
3) The third scenario is about external-facing sites for customers, partners, and suppliers. This could be seen as an advanced home page with special content for non-employees. In this case, the external users need to register and authenticate in order to securely access data coming from your back-end system. A partner portal or support Web site are good examples.
4) The last use case is social intranet, where we bring together structured business data with collaborative information and processes. The goal is to enable employees to share information and collaborate around a certain business object or process.
