HCL Digital Experience is an enterprise software used to build and manage web portals. It provides access to web content and applications, while delivering personalized experiences for users.

The WebSphere Portal package is a component of WebSphere application software. Like WebSphere, WebSphere Portal was originally developed and marketed by IBM. Portal has been released since 2001,[1] and is now sold in five editions.[2] In July 2019, IBM completed the sale of WebSphere Portal (along with several other IBM products) to HCL Technologies.

WebSphere Portal software has been reviewed numerous times in the IT industry press, and honors include eWeek Magazine's 2004 Excellence Award in the category "Portals and Knowledge Management",[3] Java Pro Magazine's 2003 Reader's Choice Award for "Best Team Development Tool",[4] and the Software and Information Industry Association's 2003 Codie award for "Best Enterprise Portal Platform".[5]
