Enterprise Portals

A corporate portal is the avenue for all Business Partners, Employees, and Casual Browsers to Access Information, Establish a Relationship, further Interests and Forward Grievances. Casual information about the company can also be acquired through corporate portals. Corporate portals are also used to release news statements and PR statements that concern the business. Corporate profiles need to offer reliability at all times. Even under very heavy load, which means they need to proactively respond to Distributed Denial of Service attacks. Corporate profiles almost always have privacy policies that deal with the concerns of individuals that browse through such websites.

Corporate portals can and usually do incorporate Virtual Private Networks for employees and partners. The corporate portal can be leveraged to train new employees as well as employees offered promotions. Corporate portals need dedicated servers to host it. The company portals might need to be modified frequently, and so need to be able to reflect changes across the spectrum of devices used to access the portal.

Corporate Portals can be used for business transactions that might not include financial transactions. Financial transactions are usually incorporated into portals of companies that need to interact with the last mile customer. Sports apparel manufacturers, sporting goods manufacturers, consumer electronics manufacturers, fast food chains, accessories, and publishers usually incorporate such features into their portals. However, for eg, automobile company portals do not usually offer the opportunity to make financial transactions.
