Functional Scope

The Enterprise Bizverse Portal is a Cloud-based self-help application that provides the baseline platform for a wide range of management content such as method- and knowledgeware, tools, instruments, expert know-how and other software, collectively labelled Growthware.

It is designed to empower executives and managers to continually build and improve the business, its performance, and its visible profile. Where it is properly used, it maximizes the potential of existing business relationships and attracts new opportunities for financing, contracts, discounts, distribution channels, and sourcing of materials and services.

The Enterprise Bizverse Portal exploits the power of the Web to allow the enterprise to manage its own private information, such as its approach to governance, its historical performance data and its chosen strategies and plans for the future. It provides the means to exchange selective information with specific external entities, such as banks and potential customers. The Growthware portfolio also provides a number of tools and instruments that are designed to help managers make and execute the right decisions for the business.

Businesses communicate all the time... with their clients, suppliers, owners, partners and even peers. How and what is communicated depends on who they communicate with. The client 'conversation' for example, encapsulates corporate branding, product catalogues, advertisements, engagement processes and methodologies, sales and customer policies, and so on. When a business communicates with its financiers (such as its banking partner), the 'conversation' would typically be aimed at instilling confidence that it is a profitable and properly governed enterprise as reflected by its financial statements, registers, audits, strategies and plans.

Communication clearly involves identity. In other words, who are the parties that are communicating? It impacts the conversation dynamic. Learn more about social business profile
