What is SharePoint Portal Server?
The portal is a way to connect people, teams,
departments, classes, campuses, and the
community. Users can quickly find relevant
information through customization and
personalization of portal content and layout as
well as through audience targeting. The portal
recognizes each individual and is able to pull in
specific information relevant to that user.
