Chapter 1: Introduction

Enterprise Portal (EP) is a ready-to-deploy, secure, and scalable portal solution that allows you to easily consolidate Web-accessible information sources and integrate existing applications into a personalized view.

Enterprise Portal provides your employees, partners, and customers immediate access to the information and services they need to perform their jobs. EP provides an intuitive user interface for advanced administration, comprehensive security, and support for enterprise application integration.

Enterprise Portal’s browser-based components—Portal Studio and Portal Interface—translate the end user, developer, and administrator experience into a reduction in development and deployment time and portal project cost.

This guide provides instructions for the portal and portlet developer along with some system administration topics. See the Enterprise Portal User’s Guide for end-user information.
