Implementation Planning Services for uPortal

The success of any project can be highly influenced by the support and input of key stakeholders. This is especially the case for uPortal where content will likely come from multiple departments and sources on campus. Therefore, before you begin the process of a full uPortal implementation, it is important to engage the individuals within your institution who will be impacted by the project and who are critical to the project's success.

Unicon has domain expertise in developing portal frameworks for higher education. We have worked on uPortal implementations with numerous leading universities and colleges and understand how a portal fits into the higher education IT strategy. We strongly believe in the power of planning and consensus building before deploying new software.

Through our onsite Implementation Planning Session, we guide the uPortal team and key stakeholders through discussions to gain consensus on goals for the project, identify metrics to measure success, and understand what decisions need to be made. We also guide participants through tactical considerations specific to uPortal, discuss best practices and common roadblocks, and share the experiences of other institutions that have implemented uPortal.

After the session, your uPortal implementation team will have the knowledge and insight to move forward on a successful implementation - understanding the steps to take and pitfalls to avoid. Where appropriate, our Services Team will provide estimates for any custom work discovered during the session.
