Corporate portals are internal websites that provide proprietary information to employees, suppliers, partners, clients and stockholders. When they serve only the needs of employees, they're called intranets. When outside parties, like customers or suppliers, are allowed access, they become extranets. Corporate portals let users locate and share knowledge and data, participate in a business process and collaborate. They generally feature search engines for internal materials, and they can be
customized for different user groups. Other types of portals are:
- Community portals.
- News portals.
- Business portals.
- Others.
