texte = My working definition of a portal in the business domain (versus something like MyYahoo) is a web site that offers a personalized experience in the presentation of information and applications that can be easily structured around a business organization or business function. There is a whole 'market' defined as Enterprise Information Portals that focuses on the B2E and B2B (Intranet/Extranet) area for organizing business documents (or other 'assets') and business applications around the organizational or functional structure of the business. The key features to this are security policies for defining access to both content and services, personalization, and content management (which usually includes some form of defined 'roles' that go beyond basic security).The vendor space for these products varies from companies that build a sophisticated portal framework, then engage in partnerships with major applications vendors to build 'plug-ins' for most popular business applications (Microsoft's Sharepoint Server, Plumtree, Sequoia), versus business applications vendors that have built a portal 'front end' to their existing suite of business applications (SAP, Siebel).Phil B.-----Original Message----- From: Michael Davis [mailto:admin@network13.net] Sent: Sunday, October 13, 2002 11:17 AM To: WebDNA-Talk@talk.smithmicro.com Subject: Re: portalPortal.
