In the early 2000s, a major industry shift in web portal focus has been the corporate intranet portal, or "enterprise web". Where expecting millions of unaffiliated users to return to a public web portal has been something of a mediocre financial success, using a private web portal to unite the web communications and thinking inside a large corporation has begun to be seen by many as both a labor-saving and a money-saving technology. Some corporate analysts have predicted that corporate intranet web portal spending will be one of the top five areas for growth in the Internet technologies sector during the first decade of the 21st century.
Most enterprise portals provide single sign-on capabilities to their users. This requires a user to authenticate only once. Access control lists manage the mapping between portal content and services over the portal user base.
Enterprise portals may be referred to by the community they serve. For instance, an employee-facing portal may be described as a "Business-to-employee" portal, or B2E portal. Other enterprise portal classifications are "B2C" (business-to-customer/consumer), "B2D" (business-to-dealer/distributor), "B2B" (business-to-business/supplier), and "B2G" (business-to-government). Enterprises may develop multiple "B2x" portals based on business structure and strategic focus, but leverage a common architectural framework, reusable component libraries, and standardized project methodologies.
