Enterprise Portal Hierarchy

Traditional portal products are generally given to an enterprise to do a business portal, there is no "portal level" concept, this product for small enterprises may be, but not for large enterprises, because large enterprises, especially China's large enterprises, complex structure of enterprises, equity complex, there is a "group" concept, there are "XXX department" The concept of a large number of legal entities behind a unified management and control, so that the Enterprise Portal needs to support this enterprise structure, otherwise information and business can not be circulated among many affiliated enterprises, so the concept of "portal level" emerged.

OpenShare may be the first enterprise collaborative portal product that truly supports the "Enterprise Portal hierarchy" concept, and openshare can be perfectly supported by: Group portals, plate portals, company portals, departmental portals, thematic portals, project portals, team portals, and the portal hierarchy of personal portals.

Supporting the portal hierarchy is not easy, and the permissions and security behind it must be done very well, considering that most large enterprises are AD (Active Directory) and SSO, so you must also provide native support for AD and SSO.

For example, a group has 4 plates, each plate inside a few to 10 different companies, and then a group vice president is also a part of the actual person in charge, then the group is on a cross-company collaboration of large projects, then this time the group Vice-President will need to all the relevant portals have the appropriate permissions.

Or a large company within the matrix management, vertical angle has a large customer sales department, small and medium-sized customer sales department, channel department and so on, regional perspective has headquarters, north, east, south, west, Central, then this time formed a departmental portal hierarchy, where the authorization is not simple.

The story is not over yet, and every portal hierarchy requires hundreds of applications, including SAP, approval process, knowledge management, document management, resource management, project management, task management, BI, various business systems, and more.

In addition, the level of support for the portal can not be static, must be dynamic, real-time, because the business is dynamic, capital-level operations, mergers and acquisitions between companies, unbundling, integration occurs, so the portal level needs to adjust the structure of this company immediately support, can not have any lag, Because lag is a drag on the business.
