Ready-made training materials
Polished, ready-to-use guides and walkthroughs so your team and your scholars get full value from the system from day one - no need to write your own onboarding.
For library teams
Portium connects your scholars to every publisher you subscribe to - on campus or off, modern platform or legacy - through a managed secure proxy and passwordless single sign-on. You see exactly what's used, and we carry the technical load end to end.

Connect via SSO and proxy
Every paper your library pays for opens on the first try - modern publisher or legacy, wherever your scholars are working. A secure proxy means the paywall never even loads, and where a publisher supports it, passwordless SSO recognizes your institution in one tap. Nothing to install, no passwords to remember - and the “I can't access” queue goes quiet.


Good to know
No. They reach licensed content from home, a ward, a train, or overseas exactly as they would on campus.
Run approvals, see exactly which resources are used, and reach every scholar from a single dashboard - with the usage evidence that turns renewals into decisions, and without adding to your team.
Users, approvals, live usage and notices in one dashboard your whole team shares - nothing scattered across tools or inboxes.

Good to know
From one calm dashboard - users, approvals, live usage and scholar notices in the same place.
Accessibility
Your team publishes help for each publisher's site, and scholars open it in one click from the Portium toolbar - your guidance, in your words, right where they're reading. Fewer repeat questions, and faster scholars.


Setup and security reviews, publisher connections, onboarding, the features you request, and every scholar's access problem - all run as a managed cloud service, under your institution's policies. Even a library without a dedicated IT team runs full institutional access from day one.

Good to know
Everything technical between scholars and publishers - setup, security reviews, publisher connections, onboarding, and the features you ask for - run as a managed cloud service.
Identity and access is the kind of system that should never be improvised - and it's what Portium already runs for your institution every day. The full lifecycle of every identity is automated: people are onboarded, moved and offboarded straight from your authoritative systems, provisioned into your directories, and signed in through standards-based single sign-on and MFA - so access is never late and never lingers. Roles and attributes hold everyone at least-privilege, certification campaigns prove access stays appropriate, and every action is written to a revision-safe audit trail. It's ready for the regulators (ISO, SOC and local regulations in EU, US and Japan, encrypted end to end - and it's built to your principles: Portium answers to your institution, with no backdoors and your data kept where your policy and region require. And it's easy, because it's managed: we tailor the deployment, the connectors and the role model to your institution in the onboarding agreement, then run it for you. Everything an institution's identity and access platform must do, in one place:

Good to know
A complete Identity & Access Management (IAM) and Identity Governance & Administration (IGA) platform. Beyond connecting your users to research resources, it governs identity for the whole institution - lifecycle, provisioning, SSO and MFA, role- and attribute-based access, certification and audit - in one managed system.
