Connecting people to your
business
A
portal should enhance your entire IT infrastructure, whether you
operate a small-to-midsize business or are part of a larger enterprise.
A portal should help your employees work more efficiently—both
individually and collaboratively. Boost overall productivity. Make
business processes and information easily accessible to people
throughout your value chain. The IBM WebSphere Portal family of
products can help you deliver a personalized, productive portal
experience to your customers, employees and trading partners, helping
you build long-lasting business relationships and earn customer
loyalty. WebSphere Portal software can help you reduce costs by
leveraging existing investments in enterprise applications, data and IT
skills—so you can meet the challenges of today’s On Demand Business
environment. | 
| Get your portal up and running—quickly and
easily
WebSphere
Portal software provides such core portal services as role-based access
to applications and content, search, personalization, security and new
portlet development capabilities. It can integrate with collaboration,
security and extended search systems from other vendors, while still
providing a reliable point of access to your information, applications
and people. Creating customized, collaborative
environments
One
of the advantages of a portal is your ability, as a portal user, to
choose which applications, or portlets, you wish the portal to display,
or even which information you wish the portlet to display. WebSphere
Portal goes beyond such basic functionality with
personalization.
A portal site using personalization can show different news articles to
managers than it shows to regular employees, for example. Or it can
provide different information to special customers. Personalization
technology allows appropriate content selections to be made based on
user metadata versus user metadata rules.
Help maximize the value of business critical
information
Often,
the difference between capitalizing on and missing a new business
opportunity depends on your organization’s ability to maintain
accurate, up-to-date content on its Web site. By including IBM
Workplace Web Content Management functionality, IBM gives business
users the tools to easily create and administer their own portal
content. You can increase employee productivity by taking some of the
burden from your IT staff and empowering nontechnical users to create
Web-specific content. Placing the ability to update content into the
hands of subject matter experts can help improve the return rate of
portal users and potentially increase sales
revenue.
A proven, reliable
foundation
It’s
not enough to provide users with personalized information through a
portal; you have to ensure that your portal is built on a sound
foundation that can scale as your business grows. WebSphere Portal runs
on and includes the awardwinning IBM WebSphere Application Server
software, an open, cross-platform, Java technology-based platform that
combines the performance and scalability you need with applicationlevel
workload management and clustering. This combination provides
enterprise-class availability and scalability to handle millions of
users. Transform static information into dynamic Web content, make it
available to users faster and help ensure it remains available for your
critical business transactions.
Other Features
Find and connect people easily, using an employee
directory that offers “reports-to,” chain-of-command information.
Set up and administer Web conferences, group
calendars and assigned tasks. Create and manage
customizable work environments for individuals, teams or communities
within a personalized portal. Send and receive
instant messages from colleagues and use portlets to track your team
members’ online availability. Discuss and
collaborate on documents stored in document
libraries. |
