Deploying Web Portals - a more technical article

A Web portal provides an organized, personal view of business
information, Web content, and applications drawn from a variety of
sources, including those outside the portal itself. Oracle9iAS Portal
is designed to help you create Web portals that enable users to
manage, access, and interact with this information, all from a common
entry point. You can build any size Web portal, from a small
departmental site, to a company-wide intranet, all the way to an
Internet deployment that allows enterprises to share information with
thousands of subscribers.

Yahoo! and its very competitive counterparts have staff on call
24/7/52. And automated email replies are sufficient only to a limit.
When are you going to take the time to reply, solve customer problems,
market and sell your service? All major portals have staff in the
office, at the very minimum, throughout the day. And who is going to
attend to the calls during daytime hours? Are you going to have an
automated answering service take care of that? You certainly cannot
return most calls at night. People are either at home, or the home
office has been shut down until the next day.
Portals, news sites, must improve customer satisfaction

As Internet use continues to grow among people and businesses, it
becomes more important for search engines, portals and news and
information sites to provide high quality service to their customers,
Freed said. E-business companies that fail at this will suffer the
consequences, he said. "Customer loyalty and retention drive financial
success," Freed said.
