Portals & Collaboration


Powerful tools for sharing knowledge

These days, the chances are very good that your workforce is information-based and relies heavily on collaboration.

But just because you’re in an information industry, it doesn’t mean you’re a full-fledged participant in the Information Age. Not when there are impediments to teamwork in your information workplace.

Your organization’s success depends on how easy it is for people to share their knowledge and access information from a wide range of internal and external sources. Many organizations have introduced portals in an attempt to enable sharing and collaboration. Sadly, they are often less than completely effective because of large gaps in the user experience between those tools and the typical business systems. OTB Solutions brings unique expertise to solving these problems. We do it with an approach that emphasizes peoples’ needs as much as IT wizardry.

Portals are great knowledge-sharing tools when they’re created with Information Workers’ needs in mind. From our initial assessments of the information workplace to the solutions we deliver, considering what people need to be successful is the bottom line.

That means your organization ends up with portals and other collaboration tools that allow team members to do their work more efficiently. Information is available to all who need it, including the organization.

A portal is not effective unless teams can change it to meet their needs. The solutions we develop are technologically as sophisticated as they come, enabling collaboration between thousands of users. But they are also designed specifically to allow the people who use them to extend them as needed.

When you can make a tool work the way you need it to, there’s little standing in your way.
