With the emergence of a global economy and a mobile workforce, and the resulting flood of business data, the ability to integrate applications, collaborate across boundaries and customize content through intranets and extranets has become essential. Skyline’s enterprise portals, based on Microsoft Office SharePoint Server, provide these capabilities by bringing just the right applications and information to each employee through highly flexible intranet sites while expediting the supply chain and collaboration with customers and suppliers through extranets.

Enterprise portal intranets and extranets can be designed to deliver different content to different individuals, ensuring that each user sees only what is applicable to him or her. By targeting the appropriate data and information, the technology tailors it to an individual’s specific needs or role.

An enterprise portal likewise serves as a consistent platform for custom developing and delivering internal applications and as a system to improve and direct workflow for business processes. Further, it becomes a foundational environment for integrating and launching such applications as Microsoft Office programs, business intelligence scorecards or custom software tools, each of them available through the Web, with password protection, from any computer. It also functions as a method to deliver reports and business scorecards to monitor key performance indicators.

Enterprise portals are equally valuable in establishing extranets with customers, dealers, distributors, suppliers or trading partners. The collaboration they provide can accelerate the whole supply chain, while improving accuracy, quality, communication and relationships.

Enterprise portals make it easy for workers to find, organize and manage information because all documents are stored in a central repository. Through portals, employees gain access to intranet sites that can be set up for the entire company and/or for individual work groups or divisions. Through these sites, teams from various units in an organization can collaborate on documents, lists, discussions and calendars within or across departments, even if they are spread out around the country or around the globe.

The portals also incorporate a powerful search function to improve the ability to find relevant documents situated at any company location, dramatically reducing the time spent hunting for information and significantly increasing employees’ ability to find what they are looking for.

Skyline provides you a clear view all across your business, accelerating innovation with online collaboration, communication and information-finding that transforms your digital environment from a maze into a limitless, easy-to-use digital highway.
