Community Portals
Improve quantity, quality and
frequency of community communication

Community portals bring together community-related information and offer services like email and discussion forums to extend community activity and interaction. They integrate various information sources and services, such as search engines and directories.

The ideal tool to build community relationship and promote community identity

Typically, a community portal infrastructure may provide the following services:

  customized email addresses
  discussion forums
  yellow pages
  community member directory
  news publishing
  file sharing
  events agenda
  article posting
  posting and sharing of photographs
  auctions

From a technical perspective, the resources can be classified as infrastructural, editorial, and maintenance.

  Infrastructural resources

An existing web server or web hosting plan is usually capable of running the necessary software and database applications.

  Editorial resources
Our content management solution, integrated with our community portal implementation, allows editorial tasks to be performed by our customers; but of course they can always rely on our professional staff if they prefer to focus on other areas and leave the content update plan in our hands.

  Maintenance resources

A minimum of maintenance is necessary to a community portal implementation, as it is for most software and database applications. Once again, this tasks may be performed by our customers or by our maintenance team.
