Web-based portal platform will allow organizations to maximize Web 2.0 technologies, have a holistic view of employees, clients and prospects and support online user communities
HR.com and SITEFORUM today announced a new strategic partnership that will allow HR.com to become a reseller of SITEFORUM technology for the HR industry, employee portal market and media.
“We see a huge opportunity for this technology in the HR marketing portal, customer portal, intranet and employee portal space. The cost and manpower to implement and maintain the platform is so low that organizations of all sizes can take advantage of the technology. Search engine optimization costs alone frequently exceed the annual cost of the platform and the benefit of having so many systems in one is beyond calculable,” said McGrath, CEO, HR.com.
The SITEFORUM platform is a comprehensive solution that enables all the components required to run a marketing portal, employee portal, or user community in a single unified offering, with minimal IT support. Applications include CRM, campaign management, content management, search engine optimization, polls, surveys, live chat, blogs, wikis, RSS syndication, user and role management, e-marketplace and online store/catalogue, event management, ad management, portal design builder, email, group calendaring, personal tools and space.
The web-based portal technology allows vast and diverse information from multiple sources to be aggregated in a single repository and delivers a personalized, contextual and relevant user experience. The SITEFORUM system provides organizations with a holistic view of their employees, partners, customers, clients and prospects. All of the solution’s applications are centered around a role-based user administration system that controls individual and group access to content and applications.
SITEFORUM is built on open standards that offer a scalable and reliable infrastructure. The solution is sold as ‘software as a service’ (SaaS) from as little as $2,995 a month, including all hosting and licenses.
HR.com, the largest online community and social network for HR executives, currently uses the web-based portal platform to support their 135,000+ members and employees. “The portal technology has allowed us to provide exceptional value to our members and has helped us create a strong and vibrant online community through Web 2.0 tools like blogs, wikis, Digg, del.icio.us, chats, surveys, polls, forums and webcasts. The search engine optimization tools and traffic analysis capabilities have also allowed us to increase traffic to our site 300% in the last 30 days, as well as provide members with customized and personalized user experiences. We're thrilled to be offering this innovative solution to our partners and friends in the HR community,” said McGrath.
