whole marketplace of possibilities● Re-use common functionalities from multiple

places, like payment, credit check..etc

Development is much faster

● For same functionality, the development time required is much lesser

● There is less security that application code needs to worry

● The applications dont have to worry about page navigation, authorization, authentications

● If one uses WPF/JSF, development effort reduces drastically.

● UI can follow OO design principles, make it easier to design and aggregate

Development is faster continued..

● Also portal have many framework, security, users, portal services, which can be reused at multiple places and also reduce coding requirement.

● Using the OOB themes & skins, style classes, we can easily customize the look & feel requirement compared to webserver

● Simplied deployment helps testing during development phase.

● Helps in parallel development due to standard interface between portlets

● There are many OOB useful functionalities, which is tested & optimize for high performance

● Developing those functionality on your own requires lot of time, effort and still very likely to contain issues and bugs

● Security, customization and personalization gives robust, well tested security and access control

● Many vulnerabilities are already taken care.● Less Custom Development

Reuse

● Portal service is classical example of service oriented architecture, which can reused by multiple portlets

● Give ability of themes, skins, places, widgets or portlets to easily reused at multiple places.

● Also same code runtime can be easily reused at multiple places.

● Can easily integrate with other portlet using many mechanisms - event, url, portal services, user objects, session etc

● Portlets can be even reused across servers

● Portlets can also be used in normal web applications

Cost Saving

● Again many functionality are available OOB which is required by most applications.

● Developing these functionalities on your own requires lot of design, development and testing, which costs. Faster development cycle.

● Re-use save memory, server licenses & high performance enables it to be even reused further

● Reliability means increase revenue as customers are more satisfied, less bug also means more savings
