Abstract:
An Intranet portal is provided that is organized into six sections for corporate or organizational Intranet users. The six sections of the Intranet portal are constructed using modules. Modules are small pieces of functionality to supply or provide access to data, applications, information and processes to the user over the Intranet. The user can then customize sections of the Intranet portal to correspond to that user's particular needs or requirements. The customization of the sections occurs from the user adding, removing or rearranging modules in that section. The sections of the Intranet portal include a home section for modules of general interest to employees of the company or organization, a user section for modules of personal interest to the user, a community section for modules relating to the user's occupational responsibilities, a customer section for modules relating to the company's customers, a performance section for modules having performance information, and an input section for modules that permit a user to provide feedback.
