Enterprise Data Portal
Enterprise Data Portal is a portal which acts as a read-only version of enterprise systems
Overview
Enterprise Data Portal is a data portal which acts as a read-only version of enterprise systems like PLM, CRM, LMS, ERP, CAD tools etc. With its own user base and the ability to connect with the organization’s active directory, Enterprise Data Portal users can search, view, download items and their attachments.

Value Proposition
Enterprise Data Portal is a well-designed product that ensures efficient collaboration between internal teams and external stakeholders. Availability of relevant information to the right users is imperative to optimize business processes and improve productivity. Existing collaboration strategies have limited control, visibility, tracking and document control. Enterprise Data Portal streamlines the product development lifecycle while providing effective management.
For example, suppliers play a significant role in the value chain; however, they are usually excluded. Enterprise Data Portal allows for two-way collaboration that is inclusive of the suppliers.
