Weak alignment with business goals, soft budget justification, and too many choices doom rudderless portal projects and threaten to bury this technology in the app development platform. To make portals deliver their expected returns, companies should abandon their IT-centric portal mindset, tie portals to specific business processes, and recognize the role portals will play in ushering in the next generation of packaged composite applications.
