Conversions

Take advantage of the rich features and extensibility of portal technology! Keep all that is good about your current website while getting on board with this exciting technology.

Application Integration

Corporations and Organizations can integrate their many diverse databases and software applications with portal technology, stitching together their many diverse information and processing sources under a single portal umbrella.

Content Development

Blue Discus Systems can help in the development of your portal's content. Besides producing graphics, photography and other design elements, we can also assist in the development of your marketing and information text. Key elements in the design of your portal's content include the effective highlighting of important content, determining the major focus points of each page, accomodating the typical web viewer's of 'scanning' (rather than reading) and other usability features.

Web Portal Services

Unless you are a web developer or an advanced technical user, you will likely need some assistance to configure your web portal and get the most out of it.

Besides our expertise in all aspects of DotNetNuke portal technology, Blue Discus Systems offers a variety of portal, web, database, design and software services. We can manage the full scope of your portal project or we can come in on a limited consulting basis for special custom work.

Installation and Configuration

Should you use Friendly URLs or not?

What modules work well with what other modules? And what modules don't work well with others?

What modules impose restrictions on a DotNetNuke configuration?

What security policy should you use?

Let Blue Discus Systems take charge of installing and configuring your portal so that all goes smoothly and you get what you want.

Portal Design and Presentation

Whether you are converting from your existing website, starting with some free page skins and containers, or starting from scratch, Blue Discus Systems can help you achieve high quality results for your portal design and presentation.

Even if you are starting with a skin and container package, layout and styling adjustments are often necessary to get a professional result that is clean, unified and coordinated. We can also help with other design elements, including web logos, branding and other graphic and image production. We also work with your own graphic designers and photographers to integrate their work into your portal.

Conceptualization and Management

Whether your need is realtively simple or complex, Blue Discus Systems can help you plan and manage your portal to achieve your objectives. We will analyze your requirements and budgets and present you with a detailed plan for the organization, design and implementation schedule for your portal. The project plan will include all required tasks, who is assigned to each, and when each is due. We continually monitor, update and adjust the plan with its current status to keep all on the same page.

During the analysis and design stage, we match up your business and presentation objectives with the portal's overall design, organization, navigation, usability, and special features required to make it a success.

Training

Learn how to take charge of your portal so that you can add, delete and change your portal's content; and how to manage its performance, features and security.

Let Blue Discus Systems teach you not only the basics of Content and Portal Management, but also those little tricks that help you out of tough situations so that you can achieve exactly the result that you want.

You Don't Need Help

You don't need help if:

- You are a developer and can do it all yourself

- You know enough to modify, customize, administer and maintain what you need

- You only need a relatively simple website (mostly text and images) and are content with using the basic features without customizing

- You do not need or want a unique web design to reflect your uniique identity, or you can create the design yourself

If you are one of the above, then you can download what you need and take charge of it all. We hope that you find our portal to be a valuable resource and we wish you great success.

Otherwise you will save a lot of time and money and achieve high quality results by getting experts to help you install, configure, design, customize, fine-tune and/or maintain your portal.

Module Customization

Whether you need some new special feature or need to adjust the appearance or functionality of an existing module, Blue Discus System is a cost-effective source to get the job done.

With our knowledge base of third party custom modules, we will first try to match your needs with a pre-existing free or inexpensive module. If an existing module 'almost' matches your requirements, we can modify most third party modules to do the trick (noting that we may not be able to do your modification if we are unable to get access to the module's source code). Finally, Blue Discus Systems can develop new custom modules specifically for your need.

Performance Tuning

Are some portal pages too slow? Is your entire portal too slow?

Let Blue Discus Systems come in to analyze your configuration and optimize it to increase performance.
