Think of web portals as convenient access points to information from a source, like a business management solution’s database where customer account and inventory information are stored. The web portal is accessible via a web browser on mobile devices (e.g., a smartphone or tablet), laptops, and desktop computers.
Why Are Web Portals Becoming More Popular Among SMEs?
To understand the benefits of web portals, consider your employees’ perspective. While navigating your business management solution, employees may become frustrated or distracted by the number of menus they must navigate to find the information they need. Navigating these steps repeatedly throughout the day becomes time-consuming and decreases productivity. Web portals simplify the navigation pathway to the tools, reports, and information they need to perform their jobs better.
Personalization Access to Information
Integrated enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions like SAP Business One fulfill a business's need for real-time information access. Unfortunately, they can also overwhelm employees whose jobs require only a small portion of that information. Personalizing access to web portals ensures that users see information tailored for their jobs, which streamlines navigation and information access. Web portals aren’t a one-trick pony, either. To save time, companies can define user types, which allows access to some data while restricting access to other data based on a user’s function. Portals also frequently support add-ons that further expand tools available for users.
