UKOLUG MEETING (http://www.ukolug.org.uk/meetings/meetings.htm)
CORPORATE PORTALS
Tuesday 5th June 2001, 10.00 - 16.30
Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, Belgravia House, Horseferry
Road, London, SW1P 2AF
Course Leader: Martin White, Intranet Focus Ltd
This seminar takes a very broad view of a "corporate portal". The
objective is to provide information managers with an opportunity to
compare the approaches adopted by a range of vendors, and to gain an
appreciation of selection and implementation issues. Some of these
vendors are offering integration solutions based on a strong position
in content delivery. Factiva provides solutions to the business
sector, Westlaw to the legal sector and ingenta to the STM sector.
SageMaker is another company with a background of content delivery,
especially in the finance, telecommunications, energy and
pharmaceutical sectors, but over the last year has also started to
provide KM software applications.
There are also presentations from vendors with a background in
software development. ActiveIntranet specialised in intranet
solutions based on a Lotus Domino platform, and has a strong
commitment to knowledge management. Insight Technologies also
provides KM solutions, and has developed a sophisticated internet
spider. Northern Light is building on its expertise in web search
technologies and categorisation.
Each of the presenters will focus on the benefits they offer their
customers, with an emphasis on deployment issues and implementation
schedules.
