Dear Praveen,
SAP Enterprise Portal (EP) offers users role-specific, Web-based and secure access to all relevant information, applications and services. Employees only need a desktop and a Web Browser, and can begin work once they have been authenticated in the portal. SAP Enterprise Portal contains the NetWeaver components Portal, Knowledge Management, and Collaboration. In addition, SAP provides predefined content. At the moment the portfolio contains more than 100 business packages, which are shipped in multiple languages.
The Portal is used for different purposes.
Internationalization
Personalization
Integration

The biggest advantage of using a portl is that u can use multiple jsp pages at a time.
u can have separate ivews and each ivew itself can be a web page or a jsp page which can interact with the j2ee server hence u can have multiple work done on the same page .
other then this there are lots more advantages of using portal ...
they are : 1) can be used for platform independent application.
2) u can execute implement it for maintaing various application such as microsoft outlook etc
Bi and Portal :
The integration of BI Content into the portal ideally takes place using BEx Web applications and queries that run in the Web browser.
You can also integrate other BI components, such as the Data Warehousing Workbench or the BEx tools BEx Query Designer, BEx Web Application Designer, or BEx Analyzer into the portal.
Reward the points answrer is helpful.
Thanks,
Rudradev

Portal is a single entry point to a lot of components. To simplyfy, let us take the example
of a shopping arcade. Once we enter the arcade, we see shops belonging to different entities
- like food, computers, clothes, theatre, jewellery etc. Hence once you enter the gates of
the arcade, it opens up a lot of choices for you. Same happens in Portal . What a shopping
arcade brings to the local people of the locality is the same as what SAP Portal brings to
an enterprise.
Now using Portal in SAP, you can get connected to a wide range of applications - both SAP
and non SAP, database, repositories etc. All of them are individual components that are
secure and use SSO that makes navigation simple. Specially in BW, if you use the old 3.x,
display of your queries using WAD, making them web enabled, ease of bookmarking your reports
in a browser, using role based acess to deliver backend SAP content on the browser to your
business users, etc is all possible with a click. And of you use Federated Portal of BI7,
only Portal allows you to extract data from different producer portals consolidate and
generate reports on the consumer portal.

Hi PK,
The Portal offers a single point of access to SAP and non-SAP information sources, enterprise applications, information repositories, databases and services in and outside your organizationu2014all integrated into a single user experience. It provides you the tools to manage and analyze this knowledge, and to share and collaborate on the basis of it.
With its role-based content, and personalization features, the portal enables usersu2014from employees and customers to partners and suppliersu2014to focus exclusively on data relevant to daily decision-making processes.
Portal strength is SAP backend connectivity. So if you customers are working with SAP backend systems, thats where the SAP Portal can bring advantages to the organisation. Having a common UI for the end user community and SSO to all your backend systems, enable quick access to structure and unstructure contents.

It is single point of entry to host all the applications from different servers.
Let's take your case.you developed some reports in BI server and you want to see them .
you can integrate those reports into portal and give access to end users.advantage of doing this end users donot need to have sap gui to see the reports.they just need to have a browser thru which they can see the reports.
there is something like single signon that allows user to enter his username /password once and loginto any other servers like BI,R3 without repeated logons.
this is just one example.we can integrate any SAP backend system and host their applications.
refer the below thread for more inputs
