Welcome to SAP Enterprise Portal
SAP Enterprise Portal allows you to create attractive corporate portals that leverage the responsive SAP Fiori launchpad experience.
The portal is the Web front-end component for SAP NetWeaver - the comprehensive integration and application platform that facilitates the alignment of people, information, and business processes across organizational and technical boundaries. It's ideal for organizations with large numbers of users who require access to many applications and services across system landscapes, especially across JAVA and ABAP-based landscapes.
The portal offers a single point of access to SAP and non-SAP information sources, enterprise applications, information repositories, databases and services, in and outside your organization.
You can access the portal from desktops and from mobile devices, such as smartphones or tablets.
The portal provides you with the tools to manage and analyze its information resources, and to share and collaborate. With its role-based content, and personalization features, the portal enables users - from employees and customers to partners and suppliers - to focus exclusively on data relevant to daily decision-making processes.
The technology and architecture of the portal ensures it is built for the enterprise, providing a secure and scalable environment.
