This paper shows that using mobile knowledge portals are becoming a very useful tool for both the corporate and the customers, also the customers agree through the distributed questionnaire that the mobile portal was very easy to access information with, and the help information given is useful, also mobile portal knowledge support all functions they needed. Because of that Mobile knowledge portals have to be enhanced with mobile knowledge services and consider location-oriented information to meet fully the requirements of mobile knowledge management in the near future. In future works it's highly recommended to address the adaptation of mobile services, the consideration of users and the work context for knowledge management and the design of highly context- aware knowledge portals. 15.Limitation First and foremost this is a case study which is a descriptive method, not an explanatory one. So the conclusions about cause-and-effect relationships cannot be drawn. Behavior can only be described, not explained. Case studies also involve only a single individual or just a few and therefore may not be representative of the general group or population. So this leaves room for important details to be left out. Also, much of the information collected is retrospective data, recollections of past events, and is therefore subject to the problems inherent to memory. The second limitation has to do with the extent to which the findings can be generalized beyond the cases studied. The number of cases is too limited for broad generalizations, further empirical evaluations, however, are needed to replicate the findings in different contexts and surroundings.
