Earley Information Science and BA Insight Partner to Deliver Next-Generation Knowledge Portals
Carlisle, MA (PRWEB) October 21, 2015 -- Earley Information Science (EIS) and BA Insight (BAI) have entered into a strategic partnership to help information-driven organizations to reimagine the enterprise intranet as a knowledge portal. The two companies are jointly offering the SharePoint Knowledge Portal which provides an Internet-like experience to users, is connected to diverse data sources (on premise and in the cloud) and personalizes search results based on user profiles and business processes.
The SharePoint Knowledge Portal makes it possible for employees to have access to the collective intelligence of the business, which in turn, helps to create a more agile organization that makes better decisions and is more responsive to customers enabling a more sustainable competitive advantage
EIS and BAI define SharePoint Knowledge Portals in terms of five essential characteristics:
1. An integrated view of data sources including all relevant operational, historical, structured and unstructured data (including Big Data and IoT).
2. A contextual information architecture that organizes data, defines attributes and maps relationships to reflect the landscape of the business - its customers, products, people and processes.
3. A highly scalable platform for tagging, categorizing, finding and presenting data that has high volume, variety, and velocity while maintaining enterprise standards of governance and security.
4. A personalized digital user experience that streamlines the refinement of search results and provides a simple, intuitive approach for finding answers to complex business questions.
5. Future-proofing the implementation and simplifying upgrades with a “no customization” approach that makes it easier to support the environment over time.
Collectively, EIS and BAI have 100s of person-years of experience in implementing SharePoint-based intranets and portals for customers. Earley Information Science builds information architectures that organize and contextualize internal, external, structured and unstructured data. BA Insight’s software portfolio provides a no customization approach with connectivity to enterprise systems, automated meta-tagging for content within and outside SharePoint, and applications to significantly improve how users find and work with information.
The two companies are jointly hosting an educational webinar to be hold on November 17 at 1pm ET to present its new approach for building SharePoint Knowledge Portals. Experts from both firms will describe the underlying technology while illustrating the business value for different industry segments with customer case studies.
