portals are easy, content is hard

Installation is just the beginning
There are many portal choices available today, including GMP CMS 2.0, Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server, Mambo Server, PHPNuke, and DotNetNuke. And the installation price runs from free to millions. Yet no matter which you choose, the real work is in the production of useful, relevant, and well-organized content.   
 
Customizing for your organization 
Whether you are implementing a public web content portal or an internal corporate portal, you need to organize information so that people can find what they need when they need it. In knowledge management, this organization is called "taxonomy." Every portal is unique, so creating the taxonomy is a challenge every time. It's best to find someone who is familiar with general organizing principles of portal knowledge, and have them work with your subject matter experts.  
 
Everybody can be a publisher
Of course, your taxonomy will change as new content is published. But who publishes the content? And how is it managed? All content management systems provide mechanisms for establishing a basic document workflow including brainstorming, collaboration, editing, publishing, and versioning. What none of them provide is inspiration for new content. Experienced portal implementers know how to extract useful content from your organization.
