Robust standard based portals
As organizations adopt software systems, cost containment through the integration of existing functionality becomes a priority. Componentizing
business logic into reusable services according to defined standards enables businesses to more efficiently manage their operations.
This is accomplished through the assembly of custom dashboards, self-service applications and personalized content that provide comprehensive views
of revenue opportunities, supply chains, customer interaction.
Vignette Corp. today announced the general availability of its Portal release 7.2, among the most robust portal solution for
organizations looking to benefit from greater reuse of technology resources, faster delivery of Web-based business applications, and
increased ability to locate and make use of critical business resources.
This release addresses and extends personalization, identity management, reporting, collaboration, content management and application integration, advancing the company's vision for true service-oriented architectures (SOA) and enables customers to bring large-scale portals to market, says the company.
Although the concept of SOA is not new, Vignette is among the first to offer a product that capitalizes on its benefits. Vignette Portal
provides organizations with a platform on which they can quickly assemble applications from standards-based components.
This enables companies to deploy Web solutions that incorporate highly complex, data-rich applications throughout the enterprise.
Vignette has extended its ability to consume third-party standards-based portlet applications based on the Web Services for Remote Portlets standard (WSRP), which it helped to co-author. Whether created in Java or .NET, WSRP portlets are equally viable when consumed by Vignette
Portal, helping organizations achieve greater interoperability among disparate business applications.
"Service-oriented architectures have great potential to improve the financial returns on investments in corporate computing resources by
combining information and application components and deliver them in the context of a business process," said Brian McDonough, research manager of Enterprise Portal Software and Packaged Composite Applications at IDC. "Organizations worldwide considering new portal deployments, or
consolidating existing portals, should evaluate the services and capabilities required to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of its employees. The vendors that can quickly launch scalable deployments with iness value through an integrated portal platform with an appropriate mix of standards use, functionality and technology partnerships should be considered."
