The implementation of portals requires customization in order to
revise the specific environment, analyze functional needs and add personal
and social considerations. This is done with an implementation tool that
allows – using powerful algorithms – a high-level programming interface
to assist customizing applications and the manipulation of data for specific
needs and queries from users. It is typically installed in web infrastructures in
order to standardize further access. It generates web pages with dynamic data
that are presented in any Internet browser without compatibility problems. It
also controls access, security and registration in forums. It is not necessary for
knowledge workers to be aware of such implementation and maintenance
techniques, although such awareness would enhance their performance.
