OA enterprise portal provides the following benefits:

Universal Access to Enterprise Resources

Enterprise portals provide universal access to enterprise information and business knowledge resources to all parties. No matter where you are or who you are, you have unlimited access if you want to access information on a particular organization.

Increased Employee Productivity

OA portal makes available new information to users that were not available before and provides that information in an integrated and personalized way. Integration and personalization focus on the user’s job role, leading to improved job performance and eventually to a more knowledgeable and effective organization.

Decreased Cost of Information

The decreased cost of information is a consequence of web-based publishing and the automated character of portals. For companies that still distribute information on paper, portals promise big savings. For companies already involved in web publishing, portals offer the possibility of saving on web administration personnel costs.

Increased Collaboration

One of the most important benefits of OA enterprise portal is the increased collaboration within the enterprise. Increased collaboration translates to more sustained common efforts to accomplish corporate goals and the greater social integration of corporate environments, especially across departmental and geographic barriers.
