What is a Business Portal?

 

Increasingly, your customers, partners, suppliers, and employees need information that resides in your system, and you need information that resides in theirs. Business portals can help make this information sharing happen in a secure way.

A business portal is a Web page that provides quick access to the data, applications and services that people need to do their work. For a fraction of the price of other technologies, you can extend the business benefits of your ERP solution to anyone in the world with internet access. "Enterprise portals" are those portal web pages that display business content from your enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution.

Trivia Tidbits - Just Text Google

Do you want to amaze your colleagues during your next meeting by pulling an answer out of thin air? You can do it, if you have your cell phone. (And you don't have to have one of those fancy new iphones with internet access.)

Just text Google! Send a text message to: 466453 (GOOGLE) and within seconds Google will text you back.

Get the definition of a tough word, get the answer to a fact based question that has stumped the team. Even get a language translation, a currency conversion and more!

Some of my favorite Google texts:
Weather 06791 (gives me the weather in my zip code)
Starbucks 06791 (list of starbucks in my area)
UA 795 (departure/gate info about my airline flight)

Try it, you'll love it! And everyone else will be amazed at your knowledge.
Tell me your favorite google text.
