Many IT organizations look to achieve a competitive advantage for the enterprise by improving business productivity and reducing costs.

JBoss Portal is available through the business-friendly LGPL open source license and is supported by JBoss Inc. Professional Support and Consulting . JBoss support services are available to assist you in designing, developing, deploying, and ultimately managing your portal environment.
