What is a Portal?
Portals provide the user with a single point of access to a wide variety of content,
data, and services throughout an enterprise. The content displayed through portal
providers, channels, and portlets on the portal page can be personalized based on
user preferences, user role or department within an organization, site design, and
marketing campaigns for customers as end-users.
