Community Portals: Frequently Asked Questions

What is a community web portal?

We implement community portals as digital hubs that provide direct access to services, and information. These offer engagement opportunities for various stakeholders, including individuals, non-profits, charities, and regulatory bodies.

How do community portals enhance engagement?

We work with organisations to design community portals that boost engagement by providing a platform for access to information, services, and discussions. These allow people to interact easily, voice concerns, and contribute to community conversations and decisions.

Connecting members through these portals can enhance engagement, creating a more active community.

What are the best practices for integrating CRM systems with community portals?

We utilise Microsoft Power Pages and Azure as our primary portal technology solutions, enabling in-built integration between Dynamics 365 CRM and Power Apps with community portals. This structure ensures a unified data ecosystem through Microsoft Dataverse, featuring real-time data updates, connected processes, and personalised experiences, with all interactions connected.

What types of processes can be managed in a community web portal?

Our team develops portals that manage any type of repeatable process to extend self-service capabilities. Processes that can connect with other data sources include applications, registrations, bookings, knowledge searches, and service requests.

What security features are essential for protecting data in a community portal?

Microsoft’s robust encryption and advanced security protocols fortify our web portals. Stringent security measures protect every transaction and data exchange, ensuring your information remains secure and confidential.

How do portals minimise admin tasks for government and regulatory organisations?

In the case of the Office of the Data Protection Authority (ODPA), an integrated web portal reduced registration times to under 5 minutes. The portal also increased ODPA’s capacity to handle thousands of transactions concurrently without performance loss. Through automation and integration with Dynamics 365, ODPA enhanced productivity and could manage its data with greater efficiency and security.
