Live Browser Access to the Repository
Portal makes it possible to grant web-based access to any aspect
of your Network Architecture repository (documents, diagrams,
devices, relationships, and issues) from any location. It provides
cost-effective access for large numbers of business users to view,
search and report on live Network Architecture content held in the
iServer repository.
Simple navigation and powerful search facilities guide business
people quickly and easily to the information they need. Issues,
comments, improvement suggestions, change requests and be raised
and allocated online for resolution by the information owners. By
making repository information more visible and accessible,
end-users are able to gain real business value from the EA content
being developed and can help contribute to its continual
development.
When to use Portal to Access Network Architecture Content
Portal is the ideal solution when your Network Architecture
content is developing too fast to publish as a weekly or monthly
baseline, or is governed by lots of different people. Live access
to the Network Diagram repository means that any information being
generated is immediately visible to users, regardless of typical
publication constraints and timings. Additionally, if users need
highly complex or 'Amazon / Google' style search facilities, or the
organization has multiple browser products in place, Portal will
meet their needs.
