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 upds to audiences based on their organizational role,
team membership, interest, security group, or any other membership criteria that
can be defined.
