Portals as a knowledge repository and transfer tool—VIZCon case study

Abstract

4Today's business domains are complex and require faster decisions, better allocation of 5 resource and above all dictate the need to share knowledge both within and outside the 6 domain. Managing dynamic projects in such a volatile business environment requires a 7 structured approach. This paper is concerned with using portal technology as a means 8 for storing and transferring knowledge. The paper demonstrates the use of portal 9 technology, via a case study, to increase the overall project reactivity and achieve the 10 objectives, namely to reduce time, improve decision-making, increase productivity and 11 reliability. A portal developed to manage the VIZCon project is described using a novel 12 framework. A five-step approach for developing an effective project management portal 13 is presented with empirical evidence. 14 15

Enterprise Information Portals in support of business process, design teams and collaborative commerce performance

“…Portals, as the name suggests, are gateways to a knowledge domain (Fernandes, Raja, & Austin, 2005). This paper examines, from a knowledge management viewpoint, the relationship between the EIP systems and c-commerce by addressing the effectiveness of the former in supporting the latter.…”

Knowledge Creation and Diffusion in Regional Collaborative Networks

“…Figure 2 shows the proposed ICT architecture, as well as some examples of Web 2.0 applications that can be used to support the operation of the knowledge management framework. The ICT architecture is organized as a knowledge portal in which tacit and explicit knowledge can be stored and shared [19]. It will thus be referred to as the cluster's knowledge portal (CKP).…”

A web-based system for sharing and disseminating research results: The underground construction case study

“…Another initiative was the development of VIZCon, a portal for storing and managing the information of a research project [15]. This initiative demonstrates that the use of portal technology increases the overall project reactivity and the ability to achieve the objectives-namely to reduce time, improve decision-making and increase productivity and reliability.…”
