A portal solution delivers a customizable, web enabled user interface for displaying data from disparate data sources.  Portals simplify access to external data sources, enterprise application data sources, and knowledge assets.  Portals provide the ability to search both internal and external data sources for specific information which will help business users make timely, profitable decisions.

First generation portals were associated with services such as My Yahoo or MSN. With My Yahoo or MSN, users select from a common set of categories to display live data of their individual choosing.  Data categories at public portal sites often included user-specified categories such as news-feeds, weather information, and stock prices.

More recently, organizations have been introducing Intranet Portals, Customer Portals, and Partner Portals.  Many organizations face a common challenge with these implementations; it is often too costly to connect these portals to common, integrated, enterprise data sources.
