It is important for organizations to have a rallying point from which to disseminate information to their members. Providing a feedback channel to members is also very important. Feedbacks provide valuable information which makes possible accurate adjustments to an organization's direction of progress. A community portal serves as an online rallying point which allows members of an organization to collaboration and share such important information.

New ideas are often uncovered within the collective knowledge of organization members. It is thus important to have a repository for this pool of knowledge within organizations. Buddypress serves as an information repository on social happenings and tacit knowledge within an organization's social network.

Due to the role of a community portal as a rallypoint as well as an information repository, a thriving community portal increases the ease for organizations in terms of attracting new members to their organization.
