STRATEGIC BENEFITS OF THE WORKPLACE PORTAL From The E-Business Workplace: Discovering the Power of Enterprise Portals Strategic benefits are realized by exploiting the opportunities offered by information technology to redesign ways of doing business, and to create new business models such as Web-based collaborative design. Through the Workplace portal, you can interact and communicate with various "communities" made up of stakeholders such as customers, suppliers, business partners, and others. The Workplace portal provides opportunities for linking more tightly with these stakeholders and forming true collaborations with them. In order to define the strategic benefits of Workplace portals for your company, you need to define the activities that are ripe for potential collaboration and the companies with whom you might collaborate. You also need to address your current competition and changes to that competitive field. Finally, you need to define your company's value proposition to customers in a wired world, and the new revenue and cost drivers for your own business that interconnectivity causes.    PREVIOUS       NEXT Or select the page you'd like to jump to: From User of an ERP System to Master of an E-Business Workplace E-Business Workplace Enables Change Management Beyond the Browser ERP and E-Business Workplace Portal in Tandem Workplace Portals and ERP Offer Strategic Options Workplace Portal Implementation Enhancing Workflow Through Workplace Portals Operational Benefits of the Workplace Portal Strategic Benefits of the Workplace Portal Driving Business Value
