Problem
How can we handle the glut of information? How do we process it,
learn from it, and use it to accomplish the goals of the
organization?

Gartner’s Portal Framework
Criteria
Robust Search– Structured repositories– Unstructured repositories
Taxonomy support Content management/aggregation Personalization

The Enterprise Knowledge Portal
Provides access to existing information Allows for the management of
knowledge– Creation– Collection– Organization– Distribution
Takes knowledge and turns it into CONTENT

Portlets
Enable core application functionality in a portal
Access enterprise applications or the Internet
Follow the 95/5 rule– 5% of the application’s functionality– 95% of the usage

DocumentumeContent Portlets
Core functionality provided– Creation: Inbox, Workflow Status– Collection: My Docs, Inbox– Organization: Browse, Cabinet– Distribution: Search, My Favorites
Custom portlets Several vendors either have them or
are building them: Plumtree, Epicentric

The Portal Taxonomy
A hierarchical directory of documents– Browsable– Searchable
Populated using two methods– Manual creation– Automatic creation using a crawler
![Page 13: Streamlining Content Management Using Portal Technologies](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020417/56815bda550346895dc9cb89/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Documentum InThe Taxonomy
How do we get content from Documentum into the Portal Taxonomy?
Manually…… Automatically……
Method SecurityTaxonomy
Classification Timeliness
Publish to the Intranet and crawl
Create when
crawled
Classified when crawled
Two step processDelayed updates
Crawl Documentum directly
Imported Hierarchical structure can be
mirrored
One step processInstant updates

Taking the EKP Journey
![Page 17: Streamlining Content Management Using Portal Technologies](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020417/56815bda550346895dc9cb89/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
It’s a Journey
Define the vision and begin Invest in your information – not just
the technology infrastructure Separate hype from reality Evolve the EKP
– Start small and then grow– Deploy horizontally– Iterate deployment

Success Factors
“Quick-Hit” Approach– Clearly demonstrate the benefits– Keep it simple– Six to eight weeks to first pilot
Planning, Planning, Planning– Get help– Define the schedule– Stick to the schedule– Budget for the evolution

Cataloging Knowledge
Metadata Standards– Tagging– Terminology
Enterprise Taxonomy Definition Lifecycle Management policy and
standards– Quality– Retention– Preservation

Security
Keep everything in synch– Users– Groups
Design the Portal security model in conjunction with the repository models
Synchronize on a third party?– NT security– LDAP

Summary
Accelerate content with an EKP– Create, Collect, Organize, and Distribute– Personalize on a global scale
Leverage Documentum into the Portal– Portlets, crawlers– Check the level of integration
It’s a journey
