A key analyst on business information systems for the Delphi Group says a new trend toward internal business portals is good news for the multimedia design community. While telling an audience at an SAP-sponsored seminar in Ottawa November 8 that the business portal market will be dominated by such platform providers as SAP, IBM and others, Hadley Reynolds says the design community should be a prime beneficiary as those giants contract out work building interfaces and navigation systems. That’s good news since the market for such sites is expected to be an important part of an estimated US$5 trillion investment in e-business infrastructure through 2005.
