A Web Portal is a web page which consolidates information from a variety
of sources. Often, users of less sophisticated document management systems
perform a timely search in Outlook, a network folder structure, a list of
Word documents using "find" and/or a document management system
for scanned documents. By consolidating information into one location,
users need not "hunt" in these multiple locations to find the
desired information. A robust web portal will allow users to search nearly
every repository from one single interface.
Web portals can be configured to run on a private network, as part of an
intranet, extranet or publicly as part of a web page on the internet. No
matter what their source, the search engine and portal cooperate to
provide matching documents in an easy to navigate list. For this reason,
Portals are becoming more popular as a front-end to many knowledge
systems.
