Choose web platforms that fit your business
Choose the right platforms for your public websites, employee intranets, and customer or partner extranets. Paroin helps evaluate content management systems, packaged intranet solutions, and development approaches against your business needs, security requirements, integration needs, and long-term support capabilities.
When to engage
Advisory scope
01
Translate business needs into evaluation criteria for content management systems, website platforms, and customer or partner portals. Compare capabilities, integrations, costs, and vendor dependencies to identify options that fit your organization.
02
Evaluate native platform capabilities, packaged intranets, and intranet-in-a-box solutions against employee needs and existing technology investments. Consider features, integration requirements, configuration limits, and the implications of customization before selecting an approach.
03
Assess configuration and custom development options with long-term maintainability in mind. Advise on development standards, documentation, upgrade compatibility, release practices, and support ownership so the proposed solution can be sustained by your teams and partners.
04
Evaluate proposed platforms and architectures against your security requirements, identity and access controls, hosting constraints, data handling requirements, and integration standards. Work with business and security stakeholders to identify gaps and tradeoffs before a platform is selected or development begins.
