SharePoint
Portal Server 2003 enables enterprises to develop an intelligent portal that
seamlessly connects users, teams, and knowledge so that people can take
advantage of relevant information across business processes to help them work
more efficiently. SharePoint Portal Server 2003 provides an enterprise business
solution that integrates information from various systems into one solution
through single sign-on and enterprise application integration capabilities, with
flexible deployment options and management tools. The portal facilitates
end-to-end collaboration by enabling aggregation, organization, and search
capabilities for people, teams, and information. Users can find relevant
information quickly through customization and personalization of portal content
and layout, as well as by audience targeting. Organizations can target
information, programs, and updates to audiences based on their organizational
role, team membership, interest, security group, or any other membership
criteria that can be defined.
