Although bundled with the Oracle Application Server from a product perspective, VA Associates believes that the Oracle Portal is a product and technology that needs to be addressed with its own credence.

VA Associates understands that portal technologies have come a long way from just being replacements for web sites. VA Associates can help customers derive near term benefits by using Oracle Portal innovatively at either the department level or at a consolidated enterprise level to consistently integrate and present information from disparate sources.

VA associates offers the following Portal services

• Portal Assessments, Feasibility and Roadmaps
• Installation of product
• Portlet development
• Document Organization and Management Strategies
• Single Sign ON Integration with Oracle Internet Directory
• Integration with applications and enabling workflow
• Upgrade across versions
• Tuning
• Security Analysis and design

VA Associates offers incremental and iterative deployment of portal services to keep the functional end-users participation and patronage and commitment to portal efforts.
