Abstract: Embodiments of present invention provide a portal to various applications to allow for easy and quick access to data. In some embodiments, a portal is configured to provide access to the data required to manage, create, and oversee contract data related to one or more programs for a government agency. In particular, the portal may provide a virtual workspace that includes access to one or more applications. Some of the applications may be predetermined or “built-in” as part of the virtual workspace. The portal may include access to other applications to suit the requirements, for example, of a particular government agency. In addition, the portal may support a single sign-on feature and enforce role based security for the applications.
