There are requirements for one to publish documents or use/refer to documents published by other colleagues. There are also requirements for one to search the department and department member information in order to find out who are responsible for some job and look for help to solve problems encountered. Some departments build their own web sites to meet the requirements mentioned above. To reduce the efforts for each department to build and maintain one's own web site, Chunghwa Telecom Employee Information Portal (CHT EIP) provides the Web Hosting Service. The authorized members of each department can use the mechanism provided by CHT EIP to build homepages for their departments easily. CHT EIP also associates with CHT Directory Service (CHTDS) to automatically retrieve and display the department member information so that no extra effort will be paid for each department to maintain homepages to provide the department member information. By providing Web Hosting Service and retrieving the department member information from CHTDS, CHT EIP tries to integrate department information in one place. The thesis focuses on the system architecture, function description and system design issues for integrating department information in CHT EIP.
