Portais corporativos: ferramenta para compartilhamento da informação organizacional

Abstract

This study aims to present the importance of corporate portals as special tools for information management in organizations. The outcome of information technologies, mainly the internet advancements, has broadened the possibilities for information access. However, it is noticeable that organizations waste a lot of time and resources attempting to manage their information. Corporate portals arise from the attempt to integrate structured data, which are available in computerized information systems, and non-structured data, that are present at a great part of the organization’s sectors, in order to make the access for information agile and precise, especially in what concerns to decision making. The possibility of gathering all the information systems that the organization utilizes in only one portal speeds up work and gathers information that is generally dispersed in the corporation. However, in order to achieve its purposes, the organization must promote training for the users of corporate portals so that the individuals get compromised with the need of sharing and unblocking the information fluxes.
