Intranets & Portals

"The most successful organizations are technology-powered and information-driven, with real-time access to the right data in order to make the best decisions."

Dustin Collis, Managing Director, Technology Solutions


Intranets and portals are targeted business tools that combat the waste of time, effort and materials while at the same time generating new opportunities for collaboration and productivity. They can take the form of employee intranet, student portal, customer service tool and much more.

Above all, effective portals must succeed in two areas: usability and usefulness. In our engagements, NavigationArts marries an organization’s mission, employee or constituent culture, and established communication patterns to provide a single point of interaction with myriad sources of data. A dynamic and user-centric experience vastly simplifies communication, information access and job-related tasks, resulting in a usable interface. Substance, relevance and consistency in content as well as mission critical applications are keys in providing usefulness. 

Our Intranets and Portals provide:

  • Unified Communications and Alerting 
  • Document and Records Management
  • Digital Asset Management
  • Knowledge Management and Preservation
  • Social Business Collaboration
  • Business Intelligence and Performace Reporting Dashboards
  • Data Mashups and Visualization
  • Single Sign-On and Identity Management
  • Interface Personalization and Customization
  • Online Learning
  • Business Process Automation

As knowledge is more accessible and data is more accurate and flexible, your workforce or constituent base becomes better informed and more productive. The most effective experiences simplify work processes through dynamic role-based views and allow for decentralized evolution of content through user contribution and real-time capture of user experience data. Creating a social context in which knowledge management and productive tools exist is essential to user engagement and user adoption. Based on these principals, we develop from the bottom-up rather than the top-down.
