27. Franklin Consulting 26 Customization  Done by the portal software when you authenticate.  The more it knows about you the better it can do.  Determines how a portal looks the first time you see it – and every time your cohorts, roles, and functions change.  Customizes differently for different hardware - desktops, laptops, palmtops, net appliances, i-watches, etc.

28. Franklin Consulting 27 Personalization  Let’s you change the portal for the way you work.  Subscribe/unsubscribe to channels and alerts  Set application parameters – reports and report parameters, cities, stocks, dates, e-mail and chat defaults  Format portal page – colors, fonts, columns, …  Create/edit profiles  Add/remove links

29. Franklin Consulting 28 Adaptation  Knows your schedule and workflow. For a manager during salary reviews, e.g.,  Warns you early about them.  Gives you access to last year’s reviews, salaries, etc. and this year's guidelines and apps.  Lets you schedule employee review meetings  Finalizes, checks, and submits your recommendations.  Goes away until you need it again next year.  Saves common things you do

30. Franklin Consulting 29 Desktop  Replaces your desktop.  Hides your operating system.  Access to files, data, applications, the web, e-mail, chat, LANs, WANs, and everything you commonly access from your computer
