Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Companies are adopting enterprise portals in order to integrate disparate systems and multiple sets of information. This helps to streamline business operations and increase efficiency by providing a single access point for all relevant information.

Answer: C
 Enterprise portals can help to eliminate the need for "information intermediaries" such as administrative assistants or help desks, which can result in cost savings for companies. However, the primary reason for adopting enterprise portals is not necessarily cost savings, but rather the benefits of integrating disparate systems and information.

Answer: NA
 None of the answer choices accurately reflect the reasons why companies are adopting enterprise portals. Ultimately, companies adopt enterprise portals to improve their business operations and gain a competitive advantage, often through better integration of systems and information, improved communication with stakeholders, and other benefits.
