ABSTRACT:
In one embodiment, a system for establishing an enterprise-specific enterprise program office (EPO) and an associated enterprise-specific EPO web site includes a server system operable to communicate with a plurality of client systems each associated with a corresponding enterprise. A database associated with the server system contains an EPO toolkit accessible to the client systems using the server system. The EPO toolkit includes a customizable EPO web site shell providing a generic EPO web site structure on which an enterprise may base an enterprise-specific EPO web site for an enterprise-specific EPO. The server system is operable to receive from a user a request for the customizable EPO web site shell, retrieve such shell from the database, and provide such shell to the user for customization, if desired, to create an enterprise-specific EPO web site shell with features particular to the corresponding enterprise.
