This is because the only difference between all of these terms is security context and user features. Scalable, stable and secure technologies and adoption of industry standards Language independence One of the primary goals for Information Server 2001 was to provide common application features across multiple web sites. This is because unlike other applications such as office application, a web site must be tailored for its users. As an example of this, is an organisation with different departments that may wish to provide a range of different services to each department to ease existing working methods. Indeed every organisation may have a number of different user audiences to satisfy as the diagram below demonstrates.

Complex Java menus and ActiveX controls are not used on such sites as they add complexity. Therefore, however complex the data stored with the information system it is presented as if it were a simple web site showing only the areas that the user is permitted to access. The purpose of Information Server 2001 is to provide common services to multiple web-based information system modules such as document management and calendar management. All organisations have specific business needs and it is also possible to develop custom built modules that take advantage of common information services. Reliable load balancing technologies ensure applications services run without interruption.
