The Big Picture

They require a tool that integrates and consolidates

all available information and services so that company tasks are performed in one

task-dedicated, user-specific display. This is the purpose of a portal

An enterprise portal provides the following:

. acentral point of access to applications, content and services using a Web

browser

. apersonalized, role-based user interface that can be modified to the user's

individual requirements

. simple maintenance that is based on an open and flexible system without

additional client software

. secure access from everywhere

An enterprise portal can create a connection between the applications and the

information required to complete a task. With an enterprise portal, the end user obtains

a complete view of the company and its processes at a glance. These processes are

based on several different data sources and they are integrated into many operative

application systems.
