Enterprise Portals provide the unification of multiple databases to provide a single interface for multiple platforms. This single view of information makes it possible for a user to get a view of required data without accessing multiple systems. New custom-built data elements will allow a provider to merge the external system needs into the state system to provide an economical solution and minimize the duplication of user effort.
Protech's CSEnext Enterprise Application Frameworks model provides an example of an architectural framework that would support an Enterprise Portal initiative. The benefits of such a solution include:
- A clear, risk-managed migration path through the secure integration of Legacy CSE systems and external applications with new technologies and platforms
- Increased avenues of knowledge management by enabling many entities to organize and share information from previously incompatible applications
- Reduced costs and errors associated with manual processes for tagging and indexing with integrated search functions, categorization and auto-indexing tools
- Simplified information access through a single sign-on to network applications
- Lower expenses associated with training and support with extremely function-rich, user-friendly interfaces that allow users to quickly accomplish their tasks
- Highest levels of security by enabling departments and agencies to communicate and share data safely and seamlessly while still applying role-based access controls
- Decreased migration risks through a logical migration portfolio grouping into a managed, phased migration approach
Enhanced public service and improved public support by making CSE services and records immediately accessible via the Web.
