A web portal is an access point to information within your business.

At DTG we develope serveral web portals designs to fit your business:

  • Business intelligence portals : corporate portals that enable users to access and produce reports for decision-making using company-wide databases
  • Content portals focus on documents only.
  • Knowledge Management portals: focus only on knowledge management (Collaboration and Document Management) with no application integration features.
  • Federated portals for corporations requiring a de-centralized network of inter-working portals, i.e. accessing the same content sources and sharing the same levels of security.
  • Horizontal enterprise portals provide broad access to many types of repositories and generic application-integration features. Horizontal enterprise portals service the needs of an entire community of users with no business functionality included.
  • Vertical enterprise portals focus on a specific application or business function or the collaboration for employees. They are usually associated with packaged applications.

Do you need a web portal development?

Good question. Case in Point.

Titan Energy of Rocky Hill Connecticut has been working with DTG the past 6 months in developing a portal for their agents to access.

The design of the portal had both administrative functions and agent functions.

The administrative functions allow the administrators to:

Add or delete new users.

Upload docs and files to a library.

Create new suppliers.

Send messages to one or the entire organization.

Control the flow of the portal.

For the agents side of the portal:

Upload new prospects.

Reports for time sensitive clients.

Individual librarys for each agents custom files.

Messaging to other agents.

And thats only half of what the portal for Titan Energy can do.

DTG’s design team working with John Kearney, Jr., and Jerry Hawkins, spent time outlining the requirements of the agents and admins and then reviewing all the changes after that had been made. Robert Pezzulo, lead programmer for DTG, put all the pieces of the puzzle together for Titan Energy and the Portal was on its way.

After a succesfull presentation to the pricipals of Titan Energy and its many agents, the Titan Energy Web Portal is coming off development and going into production.
