No portal is an island—or at least, it shouldn’t be. Unfortunately, while SharePoint is great for sharing documents, it doesn’t integrate easily with the rest of your enterprise, including non-Microsoft applications and data sources. To be truly useful, your portal needs to bring together all your users and connect to all your applications.

Whether you’re evolving SharePoint or deploying it for the first time, you want your portal to scale securely beyond the firewall, delivering a targeted, contextual experience for every user, no matter who they are or where they’re located. And you need it to connect seamlessly with all your enterprise applications—such as CRM, ERP, and even those in the cloud—because the more your people can do, the more valuable your portal becomes. Check out this white paper to see how identity and context virtualization delivers integrated identity, a richer security profile, and contextual search across all your data.
