SAS Information Delivery Portal

The SAS Information Delivery Portal provides a Web-based user interface that enables users to navigate and access a wide variety of information. This information includes reports, charts, Web applications, documents, and links to internal or external Web pages. You can configure security in order to ensure that users access only the information that they are authorized to see.

The portal uses portlets to organize information about Web pages. Here is a sample portal that contains links to Web sites that provide business or world news:

The portal includes portlet templates and several predefined portlets that all conform to industry-standard design patterns. In addition, developers in your organization can use the SAS application programming interfaces (APIs) to create custom portlets. These SAS APIs also provide tools to facilitate secure integration and information sharing with remote applications.
