Portal-in-a-Box™ |
Comprehensive and fully automated Information Portal Infrastructure for content-rich Internet and Intranet sites
Just as Web portals have transformed how consumers access Internet content, shopping, and services, Corporate portals promise to do the same for the Enterprise. By providing a single entry-point to the wealth of information, resources, and expertise within an organization, Corporate portals enable the level of productivity, efficiency and cost savings on which E-Business success depends.
The promise of Web and Enterprise portals is that of a single application that can negotiate between who you are and what you need to know. The fundamental failing of portal implementations is that the processes required to make them work are all manual. They require editors to categorize, link, and alert users to new content, and require users to explicitly state what they think they need to know through on-line forms and pick lists. As the volume of content swells and user populations explode, this will simply not work. Your portal needs to provide significant scalability and a highly personalized user experience and it needs to do both automatically.
The Solution

Based on Autonomy's unique pattern-recognition technology that automatically analyzes information based on its content, Autonomy Portal-in-a-Box™ is the only portal solution able to automate the most critical processes including categorization, personalization, hypertext link management, and highly personalized information delivery.
