What would a portal look like?
Currently, the State Portal is a “Links Page”– Provides a collection of organized links to disparate State web-based resources– Lacks clear content ownership, lacks modern technological features
The goal in developing a new portal– Create value for citizens and businesses– Facilitate government transparency and accountability– Use best-in-breed web design and application development to create cutting-
edge technical solutions– Establish well-defined content ownership & review/approval process– Provide transactional capabilities (fill out forms and pay for services online)– Enable user experience customization– Allow data sharing

What would a portal look like?
In-scope vs. out-of-scope
– The State Portal does not replace or subsume departmental websites.
– The portal integrates websites and systems.
– The portal may provide a platform for implementation of new features & functions for departments in the future.
– The portal can facilitate horizontal data sharing via a web service warehouse or data warehouse.
Phased Implementation
Assessment: Partner with ITng to perform a 3 month assessment, reviewing applications from various agencies that would benefit from the web portal (August through October 2010).
Request for Proposal: Release an RFP in early November to establish a partnership with a private provider, with the expectation of having an operational portal by July 1, 2011.
