Dialog Solutions for Corporate Portals

Does your organization have a corporate portal? According to analysis by Forrester Research, more than 56% of all corporations will launch at least one portal by the end of 2003. In thousands of companies around the world, information is being deployed to the desktops of hundreds of thousands of professionals in every discipline. But all corporate portals are not the same. Those in research and development require key scientific analysis; strategic planners need current market data; everyone in an organization can benefit from the latest news and industry-specific business information. To serve the unique information requirements of these professionals within their corporate portal environments, Dialog recently launched solutions for corporate portals.

Dialog offers modules or portlets containing editor-reviewed general news, business and trade information that can be deployed to the general business population or departments through a corporate portal or targeted intranet. Also available are search tools that allow access to the rich, deep content available through various archival resources, along with robust company information and accurate regional weather forecasts through the company or weather tracking modules. Leveraging more than 30 year's experience delivering industry-focused electronic content, Dialog provides an easy-to-use and easy-to-deploy content solution for any size enterprise portal. No matter what information is required, Dialog has the content resources to provide relevant, meaningful information within your corporate portal.

As a hosted solution, Dialog can manage the backend of the deployment of information via your corporate portal. This saves your IT personnel valuable time while eliminating unnecessary hardware and software expenditures. Using industry standard XML and HTML, the portal modules are seamlessly integrated into virtually any enterprise portal environment. The product is easily managed by anyone with administrator rights on the enterprise-side, making deployment and personalization of the information modules effortless.
