Riassunto

Portals are the cornerstone to success in making informed business decisions and in the move to the Internet economy. They unify access to all the business content your employees, trading partners and customers need to do their jobs: Web data, workgroup information, business intelligence, front- and back-office applications, expertise and even data in legacy systems. Portals improve ROI through improved collaboration and communication, smarter decision-making, increased productivity, and easier access to business information, applications and expertise. In summary a portal brings together different applications, content and services in the form of one user interface, a Web page.
