Web Apps and Portals

As the creative arm of Azzure IT we are ideally placed to work with a Microsoft Gold Partner on integrating business software with websites.

What is a Portal?

Your existing business software – be it Microsoft NAV, Dynamics 365, CRM or whatever – is a powerful solution which is already helping you run your business. Why not use the data and processes you already have and get a different view? Or let people interact with your system who wouldn’t normally be allowed?

A portal is a website which taps into your system and presents the data in a bespoke way via a browser. The advantages of this are huge:

• Open up access to your system, whilst controlling exactly what users see.
• Allow customers to interact with your data and reduce data entry (e.g. adding their own purchase orders).
• Make an online ecommerce shop using your existing product database.
• Build a customer-facing quoting system to allow users to get their own prices for products and services.
• Allow internal staff to use the parts of your database they need to use without training in the whole system.
• Users are already know how to use websites – concepts of links, buttons and fields are already familiar.
• Find new ways of using your existing data without the limits of your software.
• Visualise and summarise data.
• Real-time 24 /7 access to data

Put simply, any function of your current systems can be duplicated on a website so you can have as much or as little of your data and functionality available in a web browser anybody can use. Your customer service options are suddenly wide open!

All portals are bespoke and are the result of an in-depth process to find out exactly what this emerging technology can do for your business. Please get in touch for a more detailed discussion.
