Says Pierpaolo Di Franco, coordinator of Riello's e-business projects, "We chose these business portal applications because they offer an integrated set of capabilities that support and satisfy our business requirements—offering Riello partners and operators worldwide the ability to operate independently and seamlessly. We have been able to create a portal environment that integrates the various internal processes of the company and then makes them available to the different communities within our various lines of business."
