Organisations are encouraged to register then log onto the site and register their company details, affiliate to the base data loaded in July 2008, check their company capabilities against those identified in the expanded taxonomy, and use the full search functionality of the site to increase opportunities for Australian companies to participate in defence procurement.

The number of registered organisations on the ePortal now exceeds 1,145. The number of current users approaches 3,000. Capability searches conducted now approaches 23,000.

The Industry Feedback link for registered users has proved extremely valuable. Site functionality continues to evolve in response to stakeholder feedback. Six releases to the software have been made and more are planned. Site layout has also been enhanced.

The website also provides essential links to Defence information such as key Defence Contacts, Doing Business with Defence, DMO Projects (including links to Minor Projects), the Defence Capability Plan and related Government and industry sites.
