What is the Enterprise Portal?

• The Enterprise Portal is a combination of several standard Microsoft technologies that provide a web-based user interface similar to what is available in the Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 client. The Enterprise Portal also hosts the pages used for Role Centres in the Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 client.
