From the Paper:

"The Intranet itself needs to have the following: user authentication including single sign-on; personalization; content management and taxonomy definition tools; tools and adapters for integrating content and knowledge management databases; and a strategic plan for how the build out an enterprise-wide portal supports the most commonly used processes in the clinic including the creating, organizing, managing and publishing content. Murphy and Columbus (2002) have completed research of how portals can be made more effective by streamlining content management strategies and serve as the first step in adopting a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). Their landmark report on the subject includes a methodology for organizing content first by information type intersected by point in the information or task process supported and includes vendor evaluations."
