Web Portal Solutions
Web portals are thin layers which aggregate,
integrate, personalize, and present information, transactions and
applications to the user according to their roles and preferences.
They often function as points of access to information on the World
Wide Web. Portals present information from diverse sources in a
unified way.
Apart from the search engine standard, web portals
offer other services such as e-mail, news, stock prices,
infotainment, etc...
Portals enable enterprises to provide a consistent
look and feel with consolidated access control and secure procedures
for multiple applications; which otherwise, would have required a
patchwork of different entities altogether.
Key traits that define a web portal
- Diverse Sources (e-mail, stock prices, document management
system)
- Consistent look and feel
- Unified security environment
- Reduced duplication of effort
What differentiates a Portal from a Web-Site:
- Portals aggregate content and applications
- Portals are more “intelligent”:
- Leveraging corporate data to push content
- Allowing end-user customization for content, navigation, and
layout
- Portals offer secure access to services (SSO/RSO)
Why portals are so critical in a competitive business environment:
- Portals allow diversified businesses the ability to present
unified,
consistent “branding” to the public as well as to internal constituents.
- Each business “vertical” may have its own web sites and identities,
yet still be connected to the larger entity via the portal…increasing
collaboration between work groups.
- More consistent management of workflows
- Enables internal and external access to specific corporate information
using secure authentication or Single sign-on.
- Enables content creators to self-publish their information
