Delphi Group white paper identifies Portal Lifecycle Management as critical for reducing maintenance costs and achieving a faster return on investment (ROI)

HOUSTON, March 28, 2001 — Corporations aren't getting the biggest bang for their buck in portal development.  In next week's April 4, 2001 webinar, Nathaniel Palmer, vice president and chief analyst at Delphi Group and the analyst who uncovered the often overlooked issue of portal maintenance, will discuss "The Hidden Cost of Portal Ownership."  Helping to raise awareness for this industry-wide issue, Mongoose Technology is sponsoring the April 4, 2001 one-hour webinar that will begin at 1:00 p.m. Eastern time.  Participants can register for this seminar at www.mongoosetech.com.

According to Palmer, ongoing maintenance of portals presents organizations with an unexpected, underappreciated, and unnecessarily high cost associated with portal ownership.  He believes the increasing cost of portal maintenance will be one of the most significant issues facing organizations in the near future.  In this forward-looking webinar, Palmer will illustrate the benefits of taking a Lifecycle Management approach to portal ownership.  Palmer's white paper on Portal Lifecycle Management is featured on the Mongoose Web site at www.mongoosetech.com.

As an example of implementing the Portal Lifecycle Management approach, Palmer will highlight the portal solution from Mongoose Technology.  Mongoose PortalStudio™ encompasses the critical elements of Portal Lifecycle Management - the ability to Design, Assemble, Deploy, and Manage enterprise portals within a single environment.  These capabilities enable organizations for the first time to reduce their portal lifecycle and maintenance costs and generate a faster return on investment (ROI).
