No I don?t think so, you push a neutral technology into a very specific field. It is like the web is only something for large corporations because they only have enough info to release for the public. It depends on what you want to do and if you can achieve it with jetspeed or not.
You don?t necessarily have to have a big corporation to make good use out of a portal. Everything which needs user specialized information exchange can benefit from it. For instance giving scientific groups very specialized access upon the info the need (typical university stuff) or having a small desktop for home workers to access company ressources easily (makes sense even for small and medium sized businesses) -----Ursprungliche Nachricht----- Von: Joe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet: Sonntag, 15.

I think that you must admit however, that the organisations that can get the *most* benefit out of portal technologies *are* the larger ones. Where they do have many enterprise apps and business processes which a portal can provide centralized access to. For example, if you can have: the top ten company performance reports all regular contracts employee to management company forms client details database information employee 'phone-book' all available from one central point there is substantial value in that. And you will get substantial usage and ROI from your investment. But only when the company is large enough for those processes and information to benifit from organisation. Only when those applications are already in place. And this is usually only the case in 500+ employee businesses. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
