After a 3-day workshop on portal strategy in Kuala Lumpur, it does seem like Malaysia is not so far behind Europe and the United States in this area. Most vendors covered in the Enterprise Portals Report are active the region, along with some interesting local open source initiatives. Some of the same universal challenges and questions come up, but I find that countries that come a bit later to these technologies tend to have a good and healthy understanding that the technical aspects of implementing a portal is easier than the people aspects of the project. One local problem here is a dearth of inexperienced system integrators. The larger global system integrators, including Indian ones, are available in the region, but it is a constant fight to get them to staff portal projects with experienced teams and to be considered a key account. If you find yourself without access to an experienced implementation partner, make sure to move from your seat at the isolated end of the table, to the center, where you can more actively maintain direct contact with your other suppliers -- especially the software vendor -- who might be able to help you directly instead. You might also be able to find experienced freelancers who can work inside your team.
