When HP redesigned the @HP portal a couple of years ago, I remember
seeing detailed ROI case studies about it. There were significant
social network enhancements of their portal, so you might find
something relevant on that topic. A condensed case study is provided
by HP: h40110.www4.hp.com/soluzioni/pdf/PortalSuccesStory2.pdf. 

It seems to me that executives of larger companies talk more about
what is delivered by a portal, (Knowledge Management, Business
intelligence, etc.) than they do about the Portal itself. Especially
since they started getting excited about cloud computing. However,
CIO did run an article %u201CSeven Reasons for Your Company to Start
an Internal Blog%u201D (CIO.com, by C. G. Lynch).

I was working with a corporation to measure ROI of a portal app using
Six Sigma, and it ran rather soft. If you%u2019re looking for the kind
of Portal ROI that impresses the Finance Dept., you have your work cut
out for you. 

I think you have a lot of ammunition out there, even in today's
rough environment.
