How can be SAP NetWeaver Portal used in a routine work?
Just imagine that you are a new employee. You were given employee manuals and a huge number of forms to fill in – health insurance form, payment deposit form...
In every form you shall fill in – your name, surname, address, ev. an ID employee number. Would it not be wonderful to put in this information only once – without any papers? If only this one process would be placed to a portal, it will save hours of time for duplicity work of an employee and it will considerably reduce work of the human resource department.
