Sexy Portals with SAP NetWeaver

Increase user acceptance of your enterprise portal

As experts in the field of SAP NetWeaver and Portal we offer you assistance in the design and implementation of modern portals. Many companies are still using the SAP NetWeaver Portal in its standard configuration. However, this solution has remained virtually unchanged since 2001. Modern portal technology makes it convenient for you to satisfy your corporate communications department’s requirements with regard to look and usability.

Just what are sexy portals, exactly?

"Sexy portals" are different: The interface design is modern, attractive and corresponds to the business’s Corporate Design. The system is exceptionally user friendly, i.e. intuitive to learn, consistent in its operation and fault tolerant.

"Sexy portals" motivate even occasional users to revisit the portal on a regular basis: The portal has a memorable design; even users who haven’t visited the portal in a while can easily find their way around.

Efficient usability, high-end design and optimum performance

btexx has worked together with renowned design agencies to implement a variety of external facing portals. Please use the image gallery that follows to gain an impression of all of the possible designs available on the basis of SAP portal technology.

Investment in design and usability: Your benefits

The Norman Nielsen Group surveys the user friendliness of web solutions, particularly intranets, at regular intervals. Based on 18 representative editor/employee tasks, the company determines how much time these users need to perform their work on the intranet. The survey spans an observation period of one full year. The survey results are remarkable:

  • In the top third of the intranets surveyed, employees required 25 hours to complete their assignments; in the bottom third this number increased to 43 hours.
  • Using an estimated wage of €30 per hour, a company with 10,000 employees incurs a total cost of €12.9 million when usability is poor compared to only €7.5 million for the same company if it is able to provide its employees with good usability
  • In this specific example, investments in portal design and usability translate into a calculated savings potential of more than €5 million
