Process portals

Portals have evolved into the central user interface in companies. Process portals further this integration concept by connecting internal and external applications, thereby providing users with role-based access to process-relevant information. A prerequisite for this is an integration approach that goes beyond the mere embedding of HTML elements in a webpage and allows for a process-oriented bundling of semantically aligned application components. The book demonstrates which components are included in a suitable architecture and integration model, how various companies have implemented this model, and what benefits they have been able to achieve.
