My Portal Project

The NNg has an interesting report out that highlights some of the pitfalls and planning points that a company should know when creating a portal. An interesting section was which apps/tools were common in succesful portals. Some of these are a little vague, but nonetheless they point out that the old “HR Forms/About Us” portals are dead (thank goodness).

• Employee Directory
• Timesheets
• Employee Self Service
• Collaboration Tools
• Business-specific tools
• External Info
• Organizational Charts
• Document Management
• Executive Information Systems

My company is hot and steamy for the EIS portion, but they have a timesheet app and are begging for an org chart app too. With any luck, the doc management system will be in place before the portal.
