What is WebSphere Portal?
WebSphere Portal
is a framework--including a runtime server, services, tools, and many other
features--that you can use to integrate your enterprise into a single,
customizable interface called a portal.
An enterprise portal combines components, applications, processes, and content
from a wide variety of sources into a unified presentation, which your users
can access from a wide variety of devices.
You can
customize the portal based on user or job roles, security needs, device
settings, personal preferences, and administrative settings. You can also
define workflows to support your business processes. You can manage your
portal's content using IBM's Web Content Management, which is integrated with
WebSphere Portal. Figure 1 shows an example company portal.
While WebSphere
Portal binds your work environment into a cohesive interface, it also provides
services to enhance the user experience so that the unified interface is much
richer than if you were using the individual components.
For example, it
provides single sign-on services so that, once users are logged into your
portal, they can access all the underlying applications without having to
re-enter user credentials (such as userids and passwords). You can plug in the
look-and-feel for your portal's pages using customizable themes. Using the
collaboration services API, you can enable users to easily engage peers to
expedite work processes. Using cooperative portlets, applications can exchange
information, either automatically or with user control. These are just a few
examples of the ways you can easily extend your portal environment and optimize
your users' experience with it.
WebSphere Portal
is a core part of IBM
Workplace. Numerous other related products, including WebSphere Voice and
the WebSphere
Everyplace products,
work with WebSphere Portal to enable users to access applications running on
virtually any operating system. Users can access the portal from all types of
devices, such as Web browsers, rich clients, mobile phones, and PDAs.
