Category:Portal software

Gartner defines a portal as "a Web software infrastructure that provides interaction with relevant information assets (for example, information/content, applications and business processes), knowledge assets and human assets by select targeted audiences, delivered in a highly personalized manner." Enterprise portals may face different audiences, including:


 * Employees — business-to-employee (B2E)
 * Customers — B2C
 * Business partners — B2B

Vertical portals focus on accessing specific applications or business functions. Horizontal portals seek to integrate and aggregate information from multiple cross-enterprise applications, as well as specific line-of-business tools and applications.
