Brief: Your Next Portal Should Be An Engagement Workplace

Many organizations face an aging and ineffective existing portal infrastructure. Upgrading will require a very different strategy that will not include anything that looks like an existing portal. A mature and once decidedly unsexy technology, portals (or at least the use case for portals) are hot again.

Read this document to learn about the functional and business requirements for engagement workplaces. A deeper technical analysis with an accompanying framework to drive your technology evaluation criteria will follow.
