• Portal services
• Portal foundation
• Integration tools
![Page 25: ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) Introduction](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061206/5482af56b47959000d8b48b2/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Portal architecture
• “Enterprise portals can be built on intranet, extranet or internet web sites”

Portal services
• “A personalized presentation layer gives legacy systems one look and feel”
• The portal site should have access to all of your processes and along with tools to gather, organize, refine and disperse data without the user needing to know where it came from
