1. Clextra as your ‘Portal’ or ‘Intranet’
Clextra is your ideal Top-Level Single-Point Practical Access tool for EVERY conceivable
Software Application as your PORTAL or Intranet. Quite often the word PORTAL and
INTRANET is used inter-changeably especially in a Corporate internal use situation.
It’s the only way in today’s Socially Networked world that Corporate Culture can be
managed.
A Portal
Whatever the size of your Business; A Portal or Intranet is the ‘key’ and
‘corner-stone’ to Business Success & Profitability. While individuals can bring in
Clients, Sales & Revenue … the Execution & Delivery requires a ‘Team’.
The Team needs …
1. To know who is in the Team. Who is doing what. By when.
2. To be in touch with everyone else in their team and with others in
other teams.
3. Sales has to co-ordinate with Execution-Development-Manufacturing.
They have to keep Finance informed. Finance with Logistics. Back to
Sales & Marketing. Top-management needs to interact with each of
the above to ensure Budget adherence. Target vs Actual and constant
Gap reduction.
4. In today’s flexi-time, flexi-place, flexi-work economy they may hardly
meet; being working different shifts or keeping alternate hours yet
their work has to be synchronized.
5. Cyber-security, theft, unauthorized-access, privacy, safety, integrity,
sharing are all high-impact daily issues.
6. Sharing of ‘physical’ resources such as Scanners, Printers, Internet
gateways, Mailboxes, Storage, Backup-devices is as important as
‘logical’ resource sharing. Databases, Personal Software, Enterprise
Software, Documents, Correspondence etc.
7. To know at all times … Company Policies on all issues. Payroll. HR.
IPR. IT. Finance. Goods Movement. Inventory Control. Re-
imbursements.
8. While ‘remote’ the social and community needs of common interests,
what we do after-office-hours, buying & selling of a range of hobby,
home & consumer products are inevitable and unavoidable parts of
the Enterprise.
9. Personal work, Personal productivity, Enterprise productivity,
attendance-hours, output have to be managed on a ‘trust’ or ‘non-
trust’ basis linked to Company Policies, Rules & Regulations, Guide-
lines and acceptable Organisational Culture.
10.Entire workflow, Process adherence, Statutory compliance, Corporate
Governance, Project management, Risk metrics can be placed in quick
and simple ways once you have a portal in place.

2. Wish List ….
To provide such a solution to a New Economy Enterprise; the Clextra Decision
Execution System was designed; and is built from ground-up to cater to the
following customer-felt needs :-
BENEFITS
i. Extend Communications.
Provide employees with the freedom to communicate,
collaborate and work more efficiently by giving them access
to information. In retro you desire a right to information on
a need-to-know and need-to-perform basis. A balance
between privacy and Corporate information is established as
the de-facto culture.
ii. Increase productivity
Provide a collaborative environment between employees,
vendors and customers. A central, collaborative platform
helps eliminate e-mail chaos, provides audit-trails,
centralised storage and eliminate costly mistakes by
providing a central repository and archive for information.
iii. Manage administrative costs.
Users have the power to access team member schedules,
distribute relevant company information without cost or
assistance, and create virtual project groups instantly with
least Corporate, Administrative, HR or IT support.
iv. Lower demands on IT staff
The Clextra Intranet Server is a highly-scaleable application
that requires minimal support. It is based on industry
standard architecture and includes rich API functionality,
guaranteeing seamless integration to any networked
environment. Using open-source, thin-clients, browser-
technologies ensure that your TCO (Total Cost of
Ownership) is the lowest possible.
v. Intranet failures
Intranets fail due to lack of maintenance; poor-training; in-
adequate support-services; manpower turnover and
attrition. Too much information, too many applications, too
little 'internal selling' is yet another set of reasons for a
failure. A package of CONSULTING + PRODUCT + SERVICES
ensure that your PORTAL or INTRANET is used optimally and
ROI (Return on Investment) is ensured.
INITIAL LIST
i. It must be browser based. Not required visible changes and
upgrade; in the short-run. Obtain the full benefits of Internet;
TCP/IP technology; yet ensure security, privacy, secrecy on a
need-to-know basis.
ii. It must be self-service and allow varying levels of user-definable
transparency in implementation.
iii. It must cost next to nothing to start with.

3. SCALABLE LIST
i. A tool to measure and compare measures, norms and metrics
between Finance & HR was lacking. ie. Company People &
Company Money.
ii. Assessment of People Related activities need to be made; recorded
and constantly updated allowing quick-access for decision-making
when required.
iii. Competency Mapping of People; skills; their talent and contribution
within a team and/or the organisation; had to be measured and
recorder.
iv. Is a Team better than an Individual? Yes and No. When 'yes',
making the entire organisation; team-focussed; and mapping
People and Jobs-on-hand; allows effective financial monitoring.

or any other Process or Systems that you or your customer or vendor
organisations follow. (NOTE : Levels and desire for automation may
differ; subject to technical feasibility and competitor reluctance.)
Attractive TCO (Total Cost of Ownership).
If you want to keep costs down; you do not have to own servers; PC's; clients;
operating systems; application software; or even have an IT department. In
fact an SMS mobile is sufficient for your field forces. Even the CEO can use a
dial-up internet connection from anywhere. Ahem! These are 'least-cost'
options you may not want to exercise. (Check with our Representative Partners
for some pioneering and innovative Payment methods.)
