Basex Analysts Present Portal Technology ROI Analysis, Strategy Roadmap and Vendor Reviews
Basex has identified portals as a clear next critical step in enterprise IT strategy. Basex research shows that portal functionality greatly improves a company's efficiency and productivity. This report includes the portal technology ROI analysis, strategy roadmap and vendor reviews that enterprise IT decisionmakers need to determine their portal strategy, whether they have an existing implementation or are considering their first. Through the definition of the next generation of portal, the Pure Portal, Basex examines the existing portal types and how portal technology choices will affect a company's overall IT direction. This paper is a must-read for anyone involved in the planning or implementation of an enterprise IT strategy that includes the management of enterprise content and applications.
Basex analysts have identified the following trends in this report:
- IMPROVING THE BOTTOM LINE: The ROI of Pure Portal functionality is significant. One profile in the report shows how a company would realize a savings of 3.15% of annual revenue due to increased productivity, improved efficiency and lower management costs. For a $50M per year company, this translates to $1.75M in annual savings.
- WHAT THE CIO NEEDS TO KNOW: Some portals are more equal than others. Some differences between the various portal options are those of core competency -- one may be a better application wrapper, another a better integrator. Basex provides profiles and analysis of the major enterprise portal vendors, including the key functionality you need to know to make your IT strategy decisions.
- AN EYE TO THE NEXT FEATURE SET: Although application wrapper portals and Überportals will dominate the near-term market, Pure Portals will dominate the portal market within two-year timeframe. Companies such as IBM and Enfish, who are already providing a near Pure Portal experience, will lead the way in this newest computing framework.
