Multiple-enterprise-system portals notes
Extending a single-system portal architecture to multiple enterprise systems results in a multiple-
enterprise-system portal.
This type of portal represents a classic application server architecture, where information is
funneled from several enterprise systems such as SAP R/3, mainframes, PeopleSoft, and inventory
systems through a single web-enabled application. Users are able to extract information from
these systems and update them through a single web browser interface accessed over an extranet
or over the web.

When the multiple-enterprise-system portal is extended to include systems that exist within
many companies, the result is an enterprise portal (Figure 6.4).
