Introduction to SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Portal
In this post, we address what ancha enterprise portal is and how it differs from an
ordinary website. We then discuss the business benefits involved in implementing
an enterprise portal. In the next post, as part of the introduction, we deal with the
SAP NetWeaver Portal in particular and analyze the various components that constitute
the portal.
We also look at the SAP NetWeaver technology stack and analyze the role of the SAP
NetWeaver Portal in the stack. We then address some of the benefits of using the portal,
such as navigating intuitively, drag and relate functionality, branding and personalization,
integration using iViews, role-based personalization, securing the portal, single sign-on, and
ready-made implementation of content using business packages.
Another important component of the SAP NetWeaver Portal is the Knowledge
Management (KM) component that is used for integrating unstructured content. This is
accomplished using two major components—namely, Content Management and TREX.
Knowledge Management provides functionality such as discussion forums, content
workflow, and classification. Sitting on top of KM is the collaboration functionality of
the portal, which provides functionality such as the collaboration room, the Collaboration
Launch Pad, real-time collaboration, and third-party integration.
Why SAP NetWeaver Portal?
One of the first few questions that needs to be answered during a portal implementation is
how do we stand to benefit by implementing a portal? Is it really important to use a portal,
or is it something that can be avoided? A portal provides a means by which we can improve
the business efficiency of a process. For example, by implementing a portal, a company can
provide the right information to the right person at the right time. Based on this information,
the person can make a decision that is not only correct, but also quick.
By implementing an enterprise portal, you can provide the right information in the right
format to the right person at the right time.
The portal provides the required information in one place. Not only does the portal
increase the productivity of an employee, it also reduces the turnaround time of a given
business process. By implementing a portal, a customer service representative can quickly
attend to customer complaints, or a sales representative can place an order at a customer
site and answer customer inquiries regarding pricing. related post :
