Many of you have asked me how to position our portal solution as an INTRANET PLATFORM, and who should be the right audiences. Sharing the note below for everyone's benefit.
Below is a quick cheat sheet that you can refer to and points to talk with your customers.
HR portal -- main customer: VP of HR or Corpcom
We need a way to create/convey corporate culture
We need employee self-service & manager self-service
We need simple transactions & content (CEO corner, onboarding, compliance, training docs, etc)
We need to transform our workforce
Collaboration, content, & filesharing platform -- main customer: CIO or LOB executive teams
We need common searchable filestores
We need a social platform
We need departmental sites
Business-driven set of apps -- main customer: LOB sponsor
We need a "process portal". a "task portal", or a "role-based portal"
Customer support, supply chain management, sales force automation, logistics, clinical portal, etc
Backend integration is key
We differentiate ourselves using unique applications
Application delivery platform -- main customer: IT
We are building out an "intranet infrastructure" or a "platform as a service"
We aim to drive employee adoption upfront & add apps over time
We may combine internal-facing with external-facing sites
We want to reduce cost, reduce time to market for new apps, increase reuse & consistency, drive SOA
