Internet portal development in Dubai
is all the rage these days. Online corporate
portals have garnered more attention than any other Internet technology over
the past year - partly due to Wall Street's 'dot.com' mania over the
Internet’s Excite, Infoseek, Lycos and Yahoo!
Nobody agrees on what an online portal is, looks like, or might accomplish. On
definition describes an internet portal as all about different aspects of the
Internet. It encompasses e-mail, www,
VoIP, IRC and many other parts of the Internet. Internet portals in Dubai are cropping up all over the pace from Dubai music to Dubai real estate !
The term 'corporate portal'
has a large number of definitions and interpretations, and is used by a wide
variety of vendors for confusing string of internet products. At the root of
all attempts to define a portal, it all comes down to the following - they provide
personalised access to a large and diverse set of corporate information
sources.
The key analogy is with consumer-oriented Internet portals such as Excite and
Yahoo! The key difference is that corporate portals exist largely within a
single organisation and the information being accessed through the portal is
corporate data - for example, sales and financial data and documentation or
product pricing and availability data.
Portal
development in Dubai and the Middle
East
In Dubai internet usage and networking in
particular is increasing with it’s growing population. Effective corporate portals in the Middle East will bring the same ease to a corporate
network as Yahoo has bought to the web providing you have a good web developer
in place.
The corporate portal market is developing in the Middle East and Dubai in particular. The development and increased usage of the
internets are apparent to more and more Dubai
companies wishing to directly target consumers as opposed to wastage received
from advertising to the general public. Finally, the understanding of the
benefits of knowledge management – where the primary aim is to encourage
sharing knowledge – is being acknowledged in the Middle
East.
The
benefits of Internet Portal Sponsorship
Middle
East web developers are seeing a rise in the
amount of companies wishing to deliver corporate and sponsored internet
portals. The benefits of sponsoring
these portals full of Dubai residents are
obvious: you get your company logo in front of a Dubai audience interested in your type of
business, on a daily basis.
Web discussions, online
information exchanges and networking sites are voluntarily visited – people
visit these areas because they have active interests. For example, a company like Canon would find
a benefit sponsoring a Dubai photography portal
as people visiting this site are discussing all aspects of photography in the Middle East, including what camera equipment to use.
Effective and evolving content
management is what brings consumers back to a portal again and again. A sponsor will receive repetitive hits from a
consumer interested in this area, firmly affiliating the sponsor with the
subject area.
