Codec Portal Accelerator: Fast-tracking the creation & implementation of online citizen portals.

Meeting the requirements caused by outdated legacy processes is a common occurrence during digital transformation. With an increasing number of public organisations transitioning from paper to pixels, they often find that creating their online citizen portal brings with it many specific requirements.  

Most of the time, off-the-shelf solutions cannot fully meet these requirements, resulting in an extensive and slow customisation and integration process that causes service delays and budget overruns. This scenario leaves these organisations caught between the desire for swift implementation and the need for a bespoke functionality.  

Enter the Codec Portal Accelerator, a groundbreaking solution that bridges this gap, offering the speed of pre-built components with the flexibility of custom development. By providing a more flexible, modular, and scalable solution that adheres to accessibility standards, such as the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), while also complying with critical data privacy regulations like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Codec’s Portal Accelerator is a tool that provides a fully customised portal in a shortened timescale. 

A bespoke solution for your portal needs 

The Codec Portal Accelerator offers a unique blend of customisability and intellectual property ownership. Unlike off-the-shelf solutions that force users into predetermined configurations, Codec's ownership of the accelerator's IP allows for rapid delivery of client-specific requirements. This approach aligns perfectly with the growing trend towards bespoke solutions in digital transformation, with clients benefitting from a perpetual license for their portal configuration and created artifacts, ensuring long-term value and flexibility. 

The Codec Portal Accelerator is also focused on security and adaptability. The solution delivers Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) compliant portals, addressing a fundamental aspect of secure software solutions. This security feature ensures that organisations can manage user access effectively from day one.  

Furthermore, the accelerator's modular design offers exceptional flexibility when taking advantage of the adaptability of Microsoft Dynamics 365. This design philosophy allows for quick tailoring to unique proprietary processes, enabling the creation of portals that truly cater to specific needs and workflows. 

From concept to launch faster than ever 

Following modern modular architecture tenets, Codec have designed the Portal accelerator to suit a particular business problem yet offer a tightly coupled integration with other modular components to deliver cohesive solutions without adding complexity to the individual parts. 

Closely coupled with the Codec Integration Accelerator & other Codec Labs applications such as Grant Management and Regulat8, Codec has the ability to deliver substantial capabilities through configuration. 

By using rapid prototyping coupled with best of breed third party services for common requirements such as Eircode and Postcode look-up, Natural Persons Identification Verification, and Bulk SMS or Email sending, the Portal Accelerator can rapidly deliver a scalable portal solution without an extensive discovery phase as configuration changes can be quickly deployed and the portal updated in hours rather than days or weeks. 

Long-term value with budget-friendly scalability 

The Codec Portal Accelerator offers a compelling combination of cost-effectiveness and financial flexibility. By leveraging defined and configurable components, it significantly reduces deployment time, risk, and time to value, leading to substantial savings in project management, business analysis, and quality-assurance efforts.  

Notably, Codec's product licensing model is not based on a per-user basis, which can deliver substantial savings on recurring license fees with large scale portals catering to multiple thousands of users, eliminating the worry about additional per user license costs that growth may bring, as well as enhancing the long-term value proposition of your digital transformation initiatives.
