Pretty Poll > Details

Looking for a quick and cost effective way to manage polls within your SAP NetWeaver Portal - or just seeking a great way to engage your users more within the company? The Pretty Poll voting iView allows you to quickly create and easily manage interactive user polls within your SAP Portal pages…then with little effort, analyze your results.

Spend less time developing and be more in tune with your users

Sweetlets has a clear advantage when it comes to fully understanding your SAP Portal. Since our involvement in the very first installation way back in 2002, the core team of developers continue to remain true to their roots - focusing exclusively in the SAP Portal space.

And through the countless hours on site consulting and deep troubleshooting with numerous clients over the last 9+ years, our team of experts arrived at two main objectives for the Pretty Poll application (and all other apps for that matter). Our mission - to maximize portal ROI!

1. It absolutely had to be a plug n’ play solution, saving on timely development and ongoing maintenance costs.

With its many features and ease of use, a business package like this would take well over 60 man hours to develop. Then, a solid 10 man days a year at minimum  to look after (And this is if  your consultants have extensive SAP Portal knowledge and all went well). One also has to consider the long term costs of upgrades, enhancements and especially what your IT could be focusing on instead. From past experience, we knew that for the vast majority of companies, a project like this loses its scope and unfortunately becomes too unrealistic.

2. Absorb users into the portal more by means of getting them more actively involved. And therefore, building a greater connection with the company.

Simply put, the more involved your users, the more important they feel because their voice is being heard. Stimulate them to voice their opinion by way of voting and participating. In turn, the more they are valued, the greater their feelings of being connected with your company. Who doesn’t want a team of loyal and enthusiastic employees!

Attractive and engaging poll designs made possible through extensive style options

The results: Pretty Poll – A win-win situation from IT to consultant through to admin - and all the way down to the end user.

When you install the Pretty Poll application, you will immediately notice a few handy features.

• On the back end, Pretty Poll fully integrates into the portal theme with its multiple styling options. Unify basic design elements across all iViews with a consistent look and feel by using the Configuration module.
• Easily define the background color, border details, text format for questions and hyperlinks, and many other settings to ensure all polls match your company’s stylistic requirements.
• Also, define styles and elements for individual polls by using the Administration module. Format polls targeting specific groups or roles for optimal response.

Connect with your users

Establishing and maintaining a solid relationship within your user community can be a real challenge for any firm no matter what size. The simple act of marking a Pretty Poll ballot tells admins what their users think about issues which may be important to them or the company.

Clients leverage Pretty Poll to create that “family” feeling throughout their organization. Notify your employees of upcoming events, educate them on the latest products, or keep users up to date on current ad campaigns. Their contribution only adds to the quality of the community - and participation has a far greater impact than just a news item posted on the home page.

By not allowing your users to vote and express their opinions, a corporation breaks that community wide connection. Use Pretty Poll to bridge this gap between users, administrators, and the company as a whole - get them involved!
