5. "Vertical" Portals Will Replace Portals and Company Intranets
While portal mania dominated much of 1998, vertical portals, elaborate company
intranets providing syndicated services, will dominate 1999.
Companies will realise the revenue generating potential of their own employees
and begin to offer extended personal services on company Web sites. The new
"vertical portals" are poised to replace the more anonymous mega-portals such
as Yahoo and Netscape.
A recent survey by Decision Tree found that three-quarters of all employees
would rather access news, receive financial information and conduct business
through the company Web site, rather than go elsewhere.
