EKP Portal Toolkit

The Portal Toolkit is a development tool that enables users of the Enterprise Knowledge Platform (EKP) and their website developers to integrate EKP’s functionality into existing websites or portal sites.

The EKP Portal Toolkit achieves this seamless integration through an Application Programming Interface (API), which pulls the necessary information from EKP and presents it in the desired format within the website or portal.

The API collects information from your EKP system, including course catalogs, news articles and training history, as well as performing actions such as enrolling users, launching courses and conducting surveys and assessments.

Flexibility

EKP, on its own, is already a very flexible and easy-to-customize system in terms of adapting the look and feel of an organization’s brand.

The Portal Toolkit gives organizations more flexibility by allowing them to present EKP’s functionality in an environment that is more familiar to or easier to access by their target audience, such as customized websites, assembly line kiosks and other devices that can deliver information at the point of need.

Platform Neutral

The EKP Portal Toolkit can be used to develop customized pages or user interface screens using Java/JSP, Microsoft.Net, PHP or any other programming language and platform that supports web standards (including HTTP and XML).

EKP clients also have the flexibility to deploy their website or portal with EKP functionality on a different server or data center from that of their EKP system, which can either be installed behind their firewall or hosted by NetDimensions.

Applications

The EKP Portal Toolkit will help you enhance your existing website or create a brand new, customized portal to target various applications, including:

  • Compliance/Certification Programs
    Communicate critical information about compliance or certification training to employees, partners, suppliers and other members of your extended enterprise.
  • HR Policy Orientation
    Disseminate the most updated HR news and policies to members of the organization -- ensure all staff members have the necessary information to adhere to the new policies.
  • Pre-Hire/Recruitment Programs
    Ensure that all potential candidates and new hires know about the requirements and competencies needed prior to hiring through a centralized orientation program portal.
  • Corporate Social Responsibility Initiatives
    Update members of your organization with news of corporate actions and social responsibility -- allowing each member of the organization to understand their role.
  • Third-Party Paid Training Services
    Offer paid courses to third parties, taking advantage of EKP's robust and secure eCommerce functionality.

Although all these applications may also be realized by using EKP*, the EKP Portal Toolkit gives an EKP client a lot more flexibility in terms of website design and functionality. The possibilities are endless.

*Some customization may be necessary depending on the application requirements.
