What is portal development?
A portal is a secure web application that gives a defined group, such as customers, partners, suppliers or employees, personalized access to information and services: account and order status, documents, requests, payments, training and support. Portals reduce calls and email by letting users serve themselves. They can be custom-built or delivered on platforms such as Salesforce Experience Cloud, Microsoft Power Pages or SharePoint. TechTiera designs and builds portals and integrates them with ERP, CRM and content systems.

How TechTiera approaches portal development
Custom portal or platform portal?
| Option | Good fit |
|---|---|
| Salesforce Experience Cloud | Customer or partner data already lives in Salesforce |
| Microsoft Power Pages | Microsoft-centric organizations with Dataverse or Dynamics 365 |
| Custom build | Large external audiences, complex logic, unique design, or no per-user licence fees wanted |
TechTiera builds all three and compares them on cost per user, flexibility and integration effort.

Customer, Partner and Employee Portal Development FAQs
What is a customer portal?
A customer portal is a secure website where customers sign in to see their account, orders, invoices, documents and cases, and complete tasks such as payments or requests without contacting staff.
Should we build a custom portal or use Salesforce or Power Pages?
Use a platform portal when your data already lives in that platform and audiences are moderate. Build custom when audiences are large, logic is complex, or per-user licence costs would be high.
Can a portal show data from SAP or Oracle?
Yes. TechTiera integrates portals with SAP, Oracle, Dynamics and other systems through APIs so users see live orders, invoices and stock.
