Enterprise Portals

by Clive Finkelstein

The term enterprise information portal (EIP) was first used in a Merrill Lynch report dated 16 November 1998. In this report, Merrill Lynch indicated that EIP systems provide companies with great competitive advantage. They identified a new category for integration of systems in an EIP -- integrated applications that combine, standardize, index, analyze, and distribute targeted, relevant information that end users need to do their jobs more efficiently and productively. They identified benefits such as lowered costs, increased sales, and better deployment of resources.
