A true CMS should only be dealing with content management and not with presentation. ie. It should provide tools that let users update and manage content easily, eg. Submitting word doc, versioning, workflow.
Presentation of those content can be by portal or just any website that access those content. A Portal is a structured website that aggregates content from different sources. A CMS will need to have a portal skin to present the content and hence allowing user to personalize the portal. That's why there is the strong relationship between CMS and Portal app. Rex. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:cms-list-admin@;cms-list.org] On > Behalf Of emad > Sent: Thursday, 31 October 2002 7:51 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [cms-list] Vignette to Acquire Epicentric > > > Thanks > What are the main Different between CMS and Portal??? > I think CMS with personalization and search tools provide us with what > portal offer! > > Emad Sarhan > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Lennart Regebro" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Wednesday, October 30, 2002 11:43 PM > Subject: Re: [cms-list] Vignette to Acquire Epicentric > > > > From: "Apoorv Durga" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > Earlier Plumtree jumped into CM space in order to provide CM and > Portal > > > services and Now Vignette has done the reverse - acquired a Portal > > offering > > > to provide both.
