Event Details

Economic pressures drive the need, and technology is finally approaching a level of common sense. This workshop will focus on portal-based technologies that allow communities to deploy a single technical architecture, yet allow each organization to use their own client management and resource tools. We'll focus on what information should be public, what information should be private, and what information should be shared to drive collaboration among organizations working with shared clients, resources, and/or objectives. We'll also investigate new reporting technologies that allow real-time reports available through dashboards.

Takeaways:
1. Understanding of portal-based technologies.
2. Maintain your own tools while sharing with other organizations.
3. Determine what information should be shared via dashboard reports.
