Analysts view on Portals • “By 2004, portal frameworks will become the centerpiece of a presentation infrastructure that acts as a fulcrum to aggregate reusable application, content, analytical, and collaboration components for highly dynamic user interfaces.” 4/2003 Meta, Craig Roth • “This year, even highly conservative companies will launch portal projects. More advanced firms should stay a step ahead by evolving their portal strategies to deliver new features -- like collaboration and process automation -- to audiences beyond just employees.” 6/2003 Forrester, Nate L. Root with Sharyn Leaver, Tamara Mendelsohn • “Many portal initiatives are going forward with an explicit goal of collaboration among employees, customers, and suppliers.

In addition to greater interoperability, fourth-generation portal technology will provide a critical component for composite applications and business process fusion, which represent the future for most business applications.” 9/2003 Gartner, Whit Andrews and Gene Phifer
