When the objective of a company is to establish external communication with any interested person, it uses the internet. To communicate internally, the company relies on what is called intranet: a network of exclusive access to collaborators. If the idea is to create a direct canal with the commercial partners one can use one extranet. When the three functions are congregated in the same structure, we have a corporative portal. A better definition would be a system makes it possible to develop a single point of contact for all the information and services inside the corporation, as much for business-oriented partners and customers, as for the employees.

What does it do?

The corporative portal is a way to let various departments - or different companies be part of the same group - exchanging information and to jointly work together. It is treated essentially as a contribution tool, a resource that facilitates the knowledge management and helps to transmit in real time all pertinent information with the company. It is a solution that can decide the problem of the company that its "separated" processes and departments leave, without talking between itself, as if they were not all parts of one same organization.

What are the benefits?

The employee doesn?t have to run behind information anymore, which is now easily accessible on the network. The departments increase the contribution between themselves and the individual productivity grows, therefore it diminishes the time in the search of specific data. Knowledge is shared in real time, without intermediates or bureaucracy

How does it work?

A simple example is to ask for approval for a trip, or even a project, either directly in portal or on-line. Besides being faster, this brings the great advantage of power to be made of any place with a connection, not only of inside of the company. The employee who asks for authorization can be in Europe and what he approves in Japan.

What types of companies should adopt it?

Large corporations that have greater difficulty of interaction between multiple departments can benefit more from corporative portals. Very small companies generally have little problems to exchange information, since the employees know each other and work together in the same environment.
