Many features come along with community portal software. Building your own social community should be the most interesting. This is particularly valuable for large enterprises, educational institutions, foundations, associations and federations. If there is already a large amount of members and you got their contact details, community portal software can bring considerable benefits by minimizing the permanent care of members’ profiles and the administrative tasks. Thus, all address and contact details stay always up-to-date and as well as collaboration and communication are definitely improved a lot.

Although some people still underestimate web 2.0 software´s power and impact in modern life, most global corporate players and large local or international associations have already catch the trend and have begun to write their own company blog, or provide regular podcasts online. Similarly, they develop different social communities according to the various kinds of memberships or their needs. They publish news, events or job vacancies, they create forums and polls for important issues and they even post photos and videos. Community portal software is beneficial not only for internal but also for external use and the organizations have a better interaction and communications with their members, customers or employees. Organizations gain a large and important amount of interesting data, reduce time and costs, while their members enjoy an easy to use and pleasant communication channel by innovative community portal software. 

It is natural that for many organisations, who are trying to adapt to the web 2.0 trend, community portal software could seem complicated at first. There may be a lack of knowledge or familiarity with social software. It is therefore essential for organisations to identify community solutions with a high usability and of course, providers that are able to support them in the whole process, provide consulting and are ready to answer every tiny or important question.
