What Is Portals

A portal is a web-based platform that collects information from different sources and presents it to users in a single interface tailored to their context. Portals are used by companies, schools, governments, and other organizations to improve collaboration and share materials. A portal requires authorization and integration with other applications, while a general website provides the same information to all users without authorization. Common types of portals include those for vendors, patients, students, governments, intranets, banking, and extranets.

What is Portals ?

A portal is a web-based platform that collects information from different sources


into a single user interface and presents users with the most relevant information
for their context

Portals could display selected content in order to provide a custom experience for
users.
Why we use Web Portals ?
● Companies often start using web portals to take employee, client, vendor, and
partner collaboration to the next level.
● Web portals improve the collaboration among employees by sharing corporate
materials such as training guides, manuals, or information on potential clients.
● Some ECommerce portals that allow customers to browse through
products, make orders, manage rewards, etc.
● Some of the most popular types of portal websites are student portals that
give learners access to educational content and allow them to collaborate
with peers and tutors,
How a Web Portal Differs from a Website ?
A web portal is a feature-rich web system that provides a certain target audience (customers,

employees, vendors, etc.) with specific and often personalized content and services. In

many cases, it requires authorized access (sign in, log in). Ideally, a web portal is seamlessly

embedded into the company’s operations and integrated with other business applications

(CRM, ERP).

On the contrary, a website is open to a much wider audience and provides more or less the

same value to everyone. It is less interactive and has limited options to connect with the

brand (contact forms, live chat, links to social media).
