PloneNYC.org - The New York City Plone Users Group July Meetup

Using Plone for Creating Portals
Presented by Paul Trapani of XT Group (http://www.xtny.net...)

A web-based portal is a great way to share knowledge in a business or organization.

Plone makes a great choice as a portal solution for the following reasons:

-quick deployment for intranet portals
-can be scaled up as needs grow
-can publish to the Internet if the need arises
-software cost savings over proprietary solutions like Sharepoint
-allows building solutions using an agile development strategy
-because Plone is object based, it's easy to include documents or other attachments to your content
-very intuitive for non-technical users to use
-easy to make custom content types
-built in support for accessibility
-lots of pre-existing solutions out there

This presentation will discuss basic concepts and strategies in portal creation. There will be a demonstration a portal project hat was recently created using Plone.
