CCS & Clarion.Net Development
At CCS Technologies we have been proving our expertise in Clarion.Net right from the initial beta version, our first endeavor being 'My Portal', a feature-rich Employee Portal.
My Portal is the gateway that unifies access to all information and applications among employees and management in a company. It is a tool that helps a company manage its data, applications, and information more easily, and through personalized views.

MyPortal helps to:
- Publish notices and make announcements to the employees.
- Allow employees to share their information and knowledge by posting articles and white papers.
- Make the company environment more synergistic by sparking off discussions between employees including technical and non-technical topics.
- Help the employees to organize their work by facilitating them with task scheduling options.
- Provide the employees a market space where they can advertise to sell and buy their personal goods.
- Help the employees to get the first-hand information (both personal and official) of their colleagues.
- Provide an album space for the employees so that they can upload pictures and view others.
- Conduct surveys quickly and effectively and collect feedback regarding various company matters.
- Switch the work-flow based company activities like Leave application, Expense Reimbursement, Material Request etc. from paper to the portal.
For better understanding, one of the work-flow based activity is explained below.
Leave Application Form
Leave Application flows from the employee to the Dept Head (or approver), who can then approve or reject it. On approval, the form will flow to the next approver (normally HR Dept). A mail is sent to the employee informing him of the status.
