In recent years, enterprise portals have increased in popularity with their inclusion of web content management systems (WCMS). But this has begged a question in the industry: what is the difference between a portal that includes a WCMS and a WCMS product?
The basic answer is summed up in two parts — the use case and who the product focuses on. In other words, a key use of a portal server is building websites with role-based content, and the focus is on enabling end-users to interact within the website. Meanwhile, a key use of a WCMS is building rich websites while focusing on enabling developers to build and manage the content.
