Portal & Dashboard FAQs
What is the difference between a website and a web portal?
A website is generally public-facing and informational. A web portal is a secure, private platform that requires login (authentication) and provides personalized data and tools specific to that user.
Can you integrate with our existing database?
Yes. We specialize in connecting to existing SQL (MySQL, PostgreSQL) and NoSQL (MongoDB) databases, as well as third-party APIs like Salesforce, to visualize your data without moving it.
How do you handle security for sensitive data?
We use bank-grade encryption (AES-256) for data at rest and in transit. We also implement strict Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) so users can only access the specific data they are authorized to see.
How long does it take to build a custom dashboard?
A Minimum Viable Product (MVP) dashboard typically takes 3-4 months to design and develop. Complex enterprise portals with multiple integrations may take 6+ months.
Do we need to pay monthly licensing fees?
Unlike SaaS products like Tableau or Salesforce, with a custom portal, you own the code. There are no per-user monthly licensing fees, only standard hosting and maintenance costs.
