This emergence and the maturity of the technologies now allow portals to be the unifying work environment for the primary tasks of associates. As the unique entry point for a whole set of services via a standardized interface, these tools are becoming popularized by users. The IT infrastructure is also benefiting, through standardization of protocols, rationalization of solutions, and optimized operating costs (support and maintenance).

Sopra Group, a Business-Specific Expertise
 
Portal projects are, by and large, Business-specific ones guided by functional needs, the suitability of the solution, and appropriation of the solution by users. In order to satisfy this equation, Sopra Group makes use of a matrix-based assistance model combining Business-specific knowledge with technological expertise through its Business Consulting teams.
 
Sopra Group, mastering architectures and middleware solutions

The implementation or migration of a portal solution carries major technological stakes, because the solution must integrate horizontally into the Information System. As a portal solution “using” applications, services, and data within conventional application silos, its architecture is the key to its capacity to unite systems, develop interoperability, and maintain upgradability. Through its expertise in architectures and middleware solutions (SOA, ESB, EAI, MDM, BRMS, etc.), Sopra Group provides consulting on and deploys architectures suitable for portal solutions in its clients’ IT environments.

Sopra Group’s architecture section boasts more than 300 architects in an active network that participates in a technological watch and the tracking and implementation of the best practices.
Sopra Group has strong skills in the field of freeware.

Through its participation in certain Open Source communities, Sopra Group keeps watch over these solutions and provides its clients with the confidence needed for their deployment.
