Business portals and web components “Portals convert unmanageable data streams into demand-oriented information services”

Every day we are confronted with the challenge of filtering out relevant information from the tremendous quantity of material available on the Internet or a corporate Intranet. In many cases, valuable knowledge that is available within a company goes unused either because the most useful items are buried among excessive amounts of data or information from backend systems is not transparently accessible. More and more time is required to search for those things that are relevant to our interests or the task at hand. In addition, users and administrators must deal with increasing numbers of applications, each with individual passwords and user administration functions. Where is the solution? What do we need - besides feasible business models - to ensure that web technologies generate lasting benefits within the organisation as well as mutual advantages for customers, suppliers, and business partners?
