Staff portals - where are people at?

At Leeds we are (hopefully) about to start a project to first investigate and then develop a staff portal.  From speaking to some other universities about this, it looks like quite a few are looking to develop or re-think their staff portals.  How about a discussion about issues/threats (political/strategic) and how to resolve them, plus sharing what we plan to put in our staff portals?  We can use the e-voting kit we've got in the venue to do some quick counts of things.

What do you think? 

(Added 20th May) Thanks to US universities below for your input, but would like to hear more from UK universities about whether it would be useful to have a discussion about this at the JA-SIG UK meeting on 25th June.   Cheers,  Ben
