Portal Pack

Building a portal for your enterprise applications using Oracle Portal is a must for any organization that is currently running the Oracle application server. USIT consultants have the experience and understanding to help you build a portal that will make the most of all of the capabilities that Oracle Portal affords you. A USIT consultant will help you build a framework for quick starting a portal development effort.

Tasks:

Perform Engagement kick-off meeting (evaluate what the customers perceptions are and set expectations)
Verify installation and configuration (check patch levels, SSO, SSL and all providers are working properly with portal)
Define high level structure, navigation and areas of content as defined by customers initial requirements (ie: create Portal page groups & pages)
Define look & feel using Portal templates & styles as defined by customers initial requirements
Define Portal security model for pages, create roles, test user accounts, as defined by customers initial requirements
Add Content to an agreed upon set of pages starting with Home Page. Assumes mostly text, URLs, etc. Custom portlets already created or OTN community portlets could also be deployed and included during this phase
Integrate standard external applications; add links to them where appropriate
Deploy and integrate properly configured partner applications
Analyze additional requirements and suggest development plan for implementing complex functionality beyond the scope of engagement

Deliverables:

Installation verification checklist we could create
Portal objects (pages, styles, templates, etc)
Detail Design Document of the portal site
