Bitrix Publishes a Guide for Selecting Intranet Portal Software

ALEXANDRIA , VA. – Apr. 22, 2010 – Bitrix, Inc. (www.bitrixsoft.com), a technology trendsetter in business communications solutions, publishes a new white paper containing an in-depth explanation of the modern approach to building enterprise portals and guidelines for selecting the proper intranet architecture to meet specific business needs, budget limitations and strategic goals, as well as reach maximum compatibility with existing IT infrastructure.

The market offers a wide selection of software that allows the creation of an intranet. Analysts name dozens of products capable of performing this ambitious task. But the other side of the story makes it difficult to make a choice as customers often get confused with the variety of available software. There is a common delusion that functionality should be a preoccupation for customers browsing the market.

However, this approach can provoke an organization to overlook its business tasks and fail to implement a long-term intranet strategy. The key issue that should serve as a starting point for choosing intranet software is understanding your actual needs and defining whether you require a ready-made, out-of-the-box solution, or a platform for developing a highly-customized, organization-specific solution.

The white paper describes in detail the approaches for creating intranet portals, advantages and weaknesses of each and contains basic advice concerning which concept better meets specific needs. It also casts light on how Bitrix Intranet Portal can help organizations address core business requirements with its flexibility and readiness. As a result, customers get reasonable recommendations and best practices for making well-grounded decisions when selecting intranet software and avoiding strategic mistakes.

The white paper "Solution or platform? Useful advice about choosing an intranet portal" is available online in PDF for download.
