An enterprise portal is an access point for various applications and services directed at either employees or partners or customers. Recent past has seen a significant transition in the usage of portals from basic, personalized intranet pages to fully blown environments that provide customized roles based access to applications and documents, and help employees discharge their roles more efficiently. Accordingly, the application scenarios have evolved from basic solutions to complex workflow & collaboration portals (like Portals for R&D, Quality, Partner, Vendor, Customer, etc), document management & knowledge management, enterprise search.

Web portals allow employees, partners and customers to choose their user experience, with personalized applications based on role, context, actions, location, preferences and team collaboration needs. Employee, partner and customer centric organizations are resorting to organization wide & beyond Portals to provide a single operating window to its internal and external customers.
