The choice of underlying technology framework is critical to quickly realising the business benefits to be gained from implementing a portal.

Blue Reed utilises Microsoft .NET as the building blocks for web services and the open source DotNetNuke (DNN) Portal and Content Management Framework as base products for our portal solutions.

We believe this is the best technology combination we can offer our customers because it means our solutions are:

• Robust, highly-scalable
• 100% interactive data-driven
• Database independent
• Deployed in less than half the time of traditional approaches
• Easy to manage
• Incredibly cost effective, particularly when compared to solutions based on commercial off-the shelf products
• Guaranteed to deliver a rapid return on investment.

DotNetNuke Capability

DotNetNuke (DNN) is the world's leading open source portal and content management product, adopted by thousands of organisations worldwide.

DNN has all the powerful features you would expect from a market leading portal product and some that many of its commercial competitors have yet to develop, like "skinning" to manage look and feel of the website. In the event that DNN does not provide the exact functionality that your business requires, Blue Reed can design custom modules to suit your business needs.
