New PortalManager Solution Facilitates Management of Integrated Public and Private Website Portals.

01.02.09 Acsys Interactive is pleased to announce the addition of a new solution to its award-winning SiteManager product suite: PortalManager. This powerful tool was designed to facilitate the secure management and simple administration of integrated public and private extranet websites. With PortalManager, clients now have a powerful, secure online gateway to the exchange of essential information between multiple groups of employees and constituents.

Built on a foundation of client feedback and input, the PortalManager platform was configured to define private internet communication pathways for subscribers. With this tool, client organizations can structure online communication forums, including information/file sharing, special applications access, and group collaboration areas. In addition, an embedded dynamic reporting engine provides for the identification and tracking of visitors and their usage patterns in real time. Client organizations will find such advanced analytics become indispensible, as they prove vital to continuous site improvement strategies for targeted marketing, content placement and site usability.

"Acsys Interactive has a history of first asking our clients what they need, and then devising solutions that exceed their expectations," smiles Stan Valencis, President of Acsys Interactive. "Just as each of our ten award-winning SiteManager products has fulfilled a stated need or requirement, we are confident that PortalManager will be seen as a best-in-class solution for our clients' secure multi-party communication efforts."

For Acsys Interactive customers, like Virtus Investment Partners, the new PortalManager functionality can translate to instant value as a vehicle for the seamless implementation of securely managed employee intranets or client extranets.

Virtus Investment Partners needed a web-based solution to communicate effectively with disparate prospects and multiple client communities (e.g., financial professionals, individual investors and institutional investors). The ability to manage public and private sites with a simple to use, seamless platform was a fundamental requirement of whatever communication solution was chosen. Virtus evaluated the current landscape of content management solutions, and picked Acsys Interactive's PortalManager as the preferred tool for website initiative.

The PortalManager platform was configured to create a new Virtus gateway that would dynamically serve content based on a user's preconfigured rights and roles. This solution allowed for individual site pages to be populated by data, information, and documents associated with the login credentials of the user. Furthermore, the challenge of managing multiple groups of users was mitigated through PortalManager. Based on Virtus' preferences for security, PortalManager was configured for single sign on (SSO) and automatic security setting and parameter updates. With the complex, administrative issues resolved, Virtus was freed up to focus on content management for each of its employee or constituent groups.

PortalManager is fully functional as a standalone product, though it is optimized if deployed in conjunction with the other powerful, intuitive content management solutions that comprise SiteManager. Virtus maximized the functionality of PortalManager by deploying other SiteManager solutions to manage the integrated content and usability of its website.

PortalManager is a proven solution that is ready for successful deployment in sectors outside of the financial services industry too. A perfect application to facilitate student/faculty forums, physician/patient exchanges, business-to-business interactions, and consumer connections, PortalManager can deliver exceptional results across a broad range of marketplaces. And this robust product will continue to be updated and improved, based on the continued feedback of valued Acsys Interactive clients and users like Virtus.
