Abstract
Methods and apparatuses, including computer program products, are described for providing an integrated suite of cloud-based, hosted, and internal applications. A server receives from a client device a request to access a portal comprising a plurality of cloud-based, hosted, and internal applications. The server determines an identity of the user, and one or more applications of the plurality of applications available for access by the user. The server establishes a link with one or more computing devices hosting the one or more available applications for providing functionality of the available applications. The server authenticates the user automatically for each of the available applications, and translates communications between the server and each of the applications based on a mapping configuration. The server integrates the established links into a user interface that provide access to each of the available applications, and provides the integrated user interface to the client device.
