 The
IBM WebSphere®
Portal family of products allows you to
deliver a personalized, productive portal experience
to employees, to connect with trading partners
and build long-lasting business relationships,
and to earn the loyalty of your customers. WebSphere
Portal software is a core component of
IBM Workplace™,
an innovative, adaptive user environment designed
to transform productivity. You can leverage WebSphere
Portal software to help reduce costs by leveraging
existing investments in enterprise applications,
data and security technology—while you evolve
to meet the challenges of today’s on demand
business environment.
Safe, timely and reliable access to dynamic
information, applications and people is essential
to building successful business-to-consumer
(B2C), business-to-business
(B2B) and
business-to-employee (B2E)
portals. Using a WebSphere Portal solution can
help you quickly build highly scalable portals
that meet new on demand business needs. You
can simplify and speed access to business content
and processes for everyone along your value
chain, and help reduce the costs of building
and maintaining access to your portals.
The underlying portal framework in WebSphere
Portal software provides the common services—like
access control, integration, administration
and presentation—required across portal
environments. Access control and integration
services give you dependable, security-rich
access to enterprise data, external news feeds
or even your trading partners’ applications.
Presentation services help your employees customize
their computing desktops to match their individual
work patterns and needs, increasing productivity
throughout your organization. Portlets (the
visible, active components in a portal page,
such as e-mail) help you control the active
flow and display of information, so portal users
have the most up-to-date information available.
WebSphere Portal
software also includes specialized tools
for employees with different skill sets—such
as administrators, business users
and Java™
programmers—so they can create customized
portlets to meet their needs. |
