Training Overview
The goal of this workshop is to create a Proof-Of-Concept (POC)
environment with WebCenter Portal. This POC will be made for a
fictitious customer called OraHealth, from the HealthCare industry.
First, we will meet the customer and hear about their needs: they are
looking for a modern Portal, with social and collaboration features, but
also with transactional capabilities. Then we will build a portal for this
customer to show the capabilities of WebCenter Portal. Everything we
need to develop this POC is available on-line.
This training is recommended for technical consultants that are starting
to work with WebCenter Portal, as it focus on basic Portal features.

OraHealth Current Scenario

Legacy Intranet
Static content only, very low usage
Outdated information
No self-service features available
No security; all users can see all content

No centralized document repository

Users send everything by email
Users must browse several different repositories

IT is responsible for publishing content into the portal

OraHealth Portal Project Compelling Reasons

IT Bottleneck
End-Users cant publish content to the portal; need IT.
IT staff doing end-user tasks

Raising Costs
Need to keep a call-center to provide services to internal users
Users must enter the same information into separated systems (no integration)
No centralized content management; users must search in different locations

Budget approved for Intranet modernization

Project success will be measured by cost reduction
Want to be a benchmark for medical companies
