Liferay Portal enables the ability for Software as a Service with virtualising portal instances from on grid platform that provides team oriented information sharing and collaboration along with a platform for the display of information from across your organization, the internet and different applications. Liferay uses "portlets" to display and manage information and allows you to create a dashboard for the management of the information that is critical to your day to day work. Portlets are like mini applications that use the Liferay Portal framework as the user interface. Other parts of these portlets provide integration across other parts such as Business Intelligence reporting, process and workflow monitoring, document management to mention a few. The virtualised Liferay platform can also be used to connect to many disparate systems using ESB platforms that connect from the Portal diretcly into all aspects of business. There are many portlets available commercially and through the open source community and Liferay provides a great development environment for the integration of additional tools and information. You can create custom JSR-128 portlets or take advantage of those created by the Liferay community.
