Product Description
Far beyond simple data archives and streamlined access, enterprise knowledge portals represent the future of corporate information management. Seamlessly interweaving three essential principles -- people, content, and technology -- an effective portal is the ultimate roadmap to every conceivable permutation of the components in a business's landscape. This prescient, authoritative book is a vital reference for anyone concerned with harvesting, creating, distributing, or analyzing company information. HR executives and IT professionals will learn not only how to create the atlas to their company's universe but also how to define and assign the roles and responsibilities that will ensure long-term efficacy and relevance. Companies will have the ability to: * Build technology around knowledge requirements, not the other way around * Customize desktop access around individual requirements and workstyles * Make better decisions as a result of quick access to crucial information * Maximize speed, efficiency, accuracy, and flexibility of knowledge transfer.

• Great Book For Serious Knowldge Portal Architects
30 June, 2003
Finally there is a book on what it takes to rollout an Enterprise Knowledge Portal (EKP). A lot has been written and said by Analysts, Vendors and other experts on the EKP subject but when it comes to actually how to implement EKPs, there isn't much out there other than vendor's marketing hype and analyst's `reports regurgitation'. Now Heidi, through her practical EKP implementation experience, has written this masterpiece to demystifies the EKP implementation roadmap with easy to understand templates that guide you through entire rollout process. What I find interesting is that Heidi provides numerous benchmarks to set realistic expectation at each phase of EKP implementation. I strongly recommend this book to IT planners, architects, managers as well as the project team who are serious to implement successful EKP in their organizations.

• Not So Great
03 September, 2004
I seleected this as a textbook for a college course on portal design. My students hated it, and I don't blame them.
The writing is very hard to understand. The examples and processes are for very large, very complex IS shops and do not readily translate to other contexts.
I based my selection in large part on the positive reviews I had read here, so I am left wondering who those reviewers are and what book they read...
I would not recommend this book to anyone unless you are a CIO or senior IS manager at a large company, in which case you probably don't need it anyway.

• Dry, But Adequate For Business People
13 December, 2007
If you are in IT (other than upper management) and want to learn about portals, do not buy this book. However, if you are a business person/manager looking to understand what those portal things might be good for then this is the book for you. Primarily this is a book about what portals are, why they are a good thing, and rigid portal project management principals. The writing is extemely dy and repetitious (reminded me of reading The Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire, yawn).
From the technical side of portals, well this book does not go there...at all. Look elsewhere for actual information about portal technologies, programming, etc.
I gave it three stars because I believe that business managers thinking about a portal for their organization can benefit from this book.
