Global Business Portals

All global business portals-whatever industry they may operate in- have a common agenda: to create an effective business-to-customer stratagem. They want to exceed their customer expectations. Competitive advantage comes naturally.

Strategies for Seamless User Experience

Commercial organizations like eBay, Amazon, TripAdvisor and Glassdoor constantly wants to improve their web presence. They wish to provide seamless user experience to end users. It follows that organizations having portals want upgrades to overcome any technological incompatibility. Scalability and functionality must also be present to quench rising demands. The portals enable companies to integrate IT systems at the time of acquisitions or mergers. This ensures a much better control over investments. Maintenance and administration. Prior to portal deployment, companies must assess existing portal for bench marking. Improvements, if made, must provide maximum benefits.

Portal strategies develops business case to justify effort and investments. It also assists to describe needed transition path, and at the same time be aligned with enterprise architectural landscape.
To solve all these needs, at Globibo Media we provide a strategy framework. Our solution assists in forming the business case and the implementation roadmap. This roadmap offers clarity when it comes to developing the long term objectives, insights to architectural solutions, implementation ways and process guides for portal implementation. The IT spend on any portal will be streamlined. Implementation risks will be reduced.

Transforming Your Customer Portal

If your company has a face, it is the customer portal. Present day customers expect the face to so much more. They prefer it to mirror what the company could offer them. They also want to know why you are (as you claim to be) better than the competition. You must have a comprehensive business-to-customer strategy. This will assist you to deliver innovative services. This activity must be done in a method which aligns and even extends the business strategy.

Aligning Technology and Strategy: Building Lasting Customer Value

It is all about business and customers. There are no servers, protocols, platforms and software. It is unquestionable that technology plays an important function in constructing and sustaining any successful portal. It is equally important that you should align IT and business aims to ensure that the portal accomplishes what you require. Any company can design and then build any web presence. However, all efforts will come to naught if it is only a temporary solution which does not offer a lasting value to customers and not solve the business needs.

Our approach at Globibo Media concentrates on building a robust foundation for customer strategy and then linking that particular strategy to the specific business aims. We adopt a structured and participatory approach which integrates requirements of both IT and primary stakeholders in your organization. We methodically capture vital information from implementation, business, technical and functional aspects of the organization. We will partner with you to apply such a foundation across the entire enterprise all through the business units, technology bases and geographies.

Business-to-Customer Stratagem

The last five years saw customer portals evolve a lot. It also happened at a much quicker pace. Your portal is most likely being used by customers and as effectively as it is possible, the question is whether it provides more benefits than the competition. Your portal must give your customers an integrated and consistent view of products. It must also provide an easy method of finding information-while simultaneously offering a competitive advantage to the business.

For your company to succeed, a customer centric strategy is a must. Important decision makers must ve involved. Technology must be supportive too. A number of business-to-customer methods are much less effective than they can be. There are a number of reasons:

Redundant-multiple- technologies across enterprise
Non-rationalized and complex collection of servers, protocols and internet standards
Tough internal competition for resources. The problems are amplified with stunted governance and oversight.
Unable to present consistent “face” to customer
Inability to respond when opportunities are available in the market and quick implementation of changes.
Efforts getting duplicated across a company, resulting in unnecessary expense

Seamless Portal Integration: Ensuring Future-Proof Solutions

Companies today recognize portal technology advantages and the implementation of appropriate solutions. They must make sure that the new solution is in tandem with existing applications, IT vision, technology, people and infrastructure. The portal must have the scalability, functionality and capability to quench new business needs. They must sustain the growth that will happen in the future. More importantly, this solution must be inclusive of impact analysis on the existing technology and business functions. New portal systems could be commissioned.
Our portal strategy framework helps companies to make an effective transition to their needed new portal system. They will comprehend present portal performance and compare them to the reported industry benchmarks.

Investment costs will also be reduced. Implementation will be optimized as well. The framework is inclusive of:

Understanding priority requirements of implementation of portal in servicing the business functions
Examining overall IT landscape, existing portal and assets, along with existing process so that opportunities can be unraveled for improvement or optimization
Solutions must be developed for long or short term optimizing. They should be best on industry benchmarks and best practices.
Develop tailored and modular implementation program which deliver long term and short term benefits

Our solution framework provides a well aligned plan which gels with the IT landscape. Portal components are leveraged to provide superior services to both external and internal customers. As these strategy solution efforts are based on close examination of present IT landscape and planned changes to underlying frameworks and applications, this solution is capable of sustaining any future changes in technology and business.

The Four Stages of Globibo Media’s Approach

Planning: This includes scoping too. This stage confirms scope processes, timelines and procedures for entire engagement. Specialists schedule and then review the work at this stage. The step needs questionnaires, project plans and checklists.
Discovery:It includes the evaluation of present state. This stage involves understanding and then documenting high level processes. These actions include business function all over the company. Personnel look carefully and collect all relevant information which can impact the portals. This steo requires gap analysis and requirement templates.

Analysis: This may include the three distinct stages of defining the target state, solution and business case development. The first, known as target state definition, describes the vendor or technology agnostic state architecture. It also includes drafting of technical digital strategy. It includes Gap analysis and the use of different architecture templates. A solution involves identification and then evaluation of options to implement strategy. The latter is done with defined architecture constraints. This action consists of crafting financial models and benchmarking data. Best practices are implemented. Business case development involves developing business scenarios. The financial impacts of strategies must also be modeled. We also rely on external benchmarks. Best practices are employed to formulate models. This step includes selection of vendors and the evaluation matrix. Score card systems are implemented. Ready comparisons are made. A number of varied integration templates are used.
Recommendation: This involves roadmap formulation. In this stage, the phased implementation roadmap is defined. The projects are implemented and the organization is transitioned to the selected model. This involves using templates and implementing the best practices.
