Enterprise System • Is integrated software which applies to the entire organization • Variety of software and vendors Enterprise Portal
Definition • Enterprise Portal • “Web software infrastructure providing access to, and interaction with, relevant information assets, knowledge assets and human assets, by select targeted audiences, delivered in a highly personalized manner.”(Gootzit, pg2) Enterprise Portal
Purpose • Enterprise portals were introduced as a better option versus intranet • Intranets would “silo” information making it difficult for users to find and use data • Enterprise portals make data from across the organization accessible in one location Enterprise Portal
Functions • Seamless application integration • B2E, B2B or B2C • Personalization • “push content” • Security • Scalability • Mobility • No local program needed Enterprise Portal
Target Consumers • Business users • Large Companies (1000>employees) • Companies with out dated intranet systems Enterprise Portal
Vendors • Some common vendors include: • IBM WebSphere • Oracle WebCenter, IAS Portal • SAP NetWeaver • Microsoft Office Sharepoint Server Enterprise Portal
Costs • According to an IBM agent, a average implementation of WebSphere will cost between $50,000 and $70,000 • They will typically take 3-4 weeks from purchasing to implement the software Enterprise Portal
Considerations of Portal Implementation • Adoption: Simple to implement and use • Availability: Because they are located on the internet they are accessible remotely • Usability: Ease of use will help with customers, as well as training of employees • Operational Efficiencies: Reduces cycle time for employees Enterprise Portal
Considerations Continued • Automation: User has self service capabilities • Operating Costs: Maintenance will be required on the system leading to more expense • Collaboration: Increases efficiency, decreases travel costs Enterprise Portal
Case Study of Crowley Maritime Corporation • Marine, transportation, logistics services for business and government • Operate world wide • More than $1.5 billion in revenues • 5,000 employees, run 200 vessels • Established since 1892 Enterprise Portal
Why Implement? • Out dated green screen technology • Complicated, customized mainframe applications • Applications were hard to access • Wanted a competitive advantage • IT demands couldn’t be met with old system Enterprise Portal
Benefits of WebSphere • Reduces staffing • Increases customer satisfaction • Customer self-service • Eliminates third-party data transportation • Saves $500,000/year • Decreases training time from three weeks to less than one hour (customer support applications) • Increases agility, accuracy and efficiency Enterprise Portal
Issues • Is not an easy button • Requires patience and money to implement • Company takes a minor hit until the users are comfortable with the system Enterprise Portal
