Single Employee Portal Vision Escapes Many Companies

Despite significant investment and 10 years of building employee portals, most large enterprises have failed to realize the vision of a single, unified portal for employees. We recently polled 25 large companies to see if their flame was still burning for getting to a single employee portal. The answer was a resounding "yes." But it sounds like this flame must continue to burn for years before a single employee portal will become a reality. To get to that single employee portal, information and knowledge management professionals must broaden their perspectives beyond portals when considering how best to deliver applications and content to information workers.
