New Portal Template Allows Companies to Deliver Personalized Experiences for Customers, Partners or Employees That Drive Engagement, All Without Writing Code

Skuid, the leading cloud application platform, announced Skuid Portals, an easy and code-free way to create personalized and intuitive user experiences for business needs. Skuid Portals allow companies to provide secure, personalized access to business information for customers, partners and employees, all within a central interface.

Delivering on its no-code promise, Skuid Portals are a quick and simple way to create tailor-made and fully-branded portals and communities for partner and channel selling, employee intranet and information, customer support and even content management. Skuid Portals allow companies to leverage data from multiple sources and connect it all within a single, unified user experience—all with point-and-click ease—to drive greater employer and employee adoption, business efficiency, and improved customer experiences.

As organizations attempt to integrate their back-end systems with digital experiences, portals that are simple to customize and deploy will play a major role. In Forrester’s October 2017 report, Vendor Landscape: Digital Experience Portals, analyst Mark Grannan writes, “Portals are hyper-relevant given the demand for customer self-service and onboarding via heavy back-end integration and user-customizable interfaces.”

Customer Portals — With personalized customer portals, companies can simplify and accelerate the process a customer follows to engage with the business, by providing self-service on any device.
