What PortBlue Does

PortBlue provides a highly innovative system for building web-based expert systems, systems that capture and convey the rules experts use in their thought processes. Traditionally, expert systems have been very expensive to develop, normally taking years of effort, and have been very difficult to modify once built. PortBlue's founding purpose was to provide its customers with highvalue expert systems that could be built and modified faster, more flexibly and more economically, by orders of magnitude. Our corporate mission is the mass customization of expert systems.
PortBlue's technology and knowledge engineering techniques have been designed specifically for eliciting, structuring and conveying the practical know-how of recognized experts and embedding it in key work processes. PortBlue conveys this expertise in the form of interactive Web-based applications accessible 24/7.
PortBlue is a leading developer of expert systems offering the capture and dissemination of know-how in the form of modules with its patent pending Knowledge Capture Tool
