Running an Enterprise Portal
TheRunning an Enterprise Portal IT scenario provides all members of a company’s value chain—employees, customers, partners suppliers—with uniform, role-based, and secure access to their day-to-day work and information resources through a Web-based portal interface. These resources include SAP applications, third-party applications, databases, data warehouses, desktop documents, Web content, and services. The portal makes it possible to search internal and external sources, and to access both structured and unstructured information from any geographical location throughout the organization.
The following scenario variants are derived from this IT scenario:
● Providing Uniform Content Access
● Implementing a Federated Portal Network
● Implementing an External-Facing Portal
Refer to the subtopics in this section for an overview of the administrative and maintenance tasks relevant to each scenario variant.
