[edit] Main products
The Port — main Pentalog software product, is an Internet port, which needs all the infrastructures and controls existing in a seaport. The name The Port was imagined by analogy with a seaport. To this notion of port is attached a notion of city and, by analogy, the city of The Port is the company which possesses The Port.
The Port becomes in this way a virtual entrance of the company which manages it. An entrance by which one can get in touch with people, consult the catalog of products, negotiate, order and buy goods, take or deposit documents, or also follow the evolution of its orders.
The Port is also thought of as a methodology and a standard in the development of corporate I-net applications. It has to enable the company to satisfy all its needs: intra, extra, internet, from a single platform.
