Enterprise Information Portals
Enterprise Information
Portals (EIPs) are applications enabling companies to unlock internally
and externally stored information, and provide users a single gateway
to personalized information needed to make informed business decisions.
They are: "… an amalgamation of software applications
that consolidate, manage, analyze and distribute information across
and outside of an enterprise (including Business Intelligence, Content
Management, Data Warehouse & Mart and Data”
The essential
characteristics of EIPs
- Use both
"push" and "pull" technologies to transmit
information to users through a standardized web-based interface;
- Provide "interactivity"
– the ability to " ‘question’ and share information
on" user desktops;
- Exhibit the
trend toward "verticalization" in application software.
That is, they are often "packaged applications" providing
"targeted content to specific industries or corporate functions;"
- Synthesize
both decision and collaborative processing
EIPs integrate
disparate applications including Content Management, Business Intelligence,
Data Warehouse/Data Mart, Data Management, and other data external
to these applications into a single system that can "share,
manage and maintain information from one central user interface."
An EIP is able
to access both external and internal sources of data and information.
It is able to support a bi-directional exchange of information with
these sources. And it is able to use the data and information it
acquires for further processing and analysis
EMSolutions
uses advanced integration and development products to provide EIP
facilities to our clients.
