Liferay intranet - the agile option
Posted: Dec 18, 2013
When you make a change to how things are done in your organization, it is because you know that it is important to keep up with the times. And when it is time to make a change it makes sense to not resist having to make the change but instead to embrace it and move forward confidently. But that will also make you aware that change is not just happening now, you will need to change again in future as well. What you would really like is an agile solution that can respond to changes in the business environment and make sure your solution is optimal at all times.
And this is a key benefit of opting for a Liferay based intranet solution. Liferay's intranet is an agile solution which means the implementation can be easily done in stages as extensions get added on. This reduces the time for getting the first stage going live and later when changes or modifications have to be done they can be done easily without having to rework the entire solution.
While we know the web has been a big boon for businesses and yet it can so happen that a website can reduce a business's agility. If for example as a response to an evolving business situation a change has to be made to the website and if the website is not agile enough, the change will have to wait till the next major website overhaul. Which will usually be a long wait. However if the website is built using an agile platform such as Liferay then changes can be made without having to take the site down.
Liferay is an open source technology and you have the freedom to build a solution that is truly customized. You do not get locked into a proprietary solution that is expensive to buy and expensive to maintain. With an open source solution you do not get tied to down to a vendor and the set up and maintenance costs are both low. Now wonder today Liferay intranet is the preferred solution even for mission critical applications by large enterprises. You can know more at www.cignex.com.
