Enterprise Portal 5.0, will include a new development environment called Portal Studio, which is intended to speed up the process of developing and deploying portlets, Sybase said. Portlets are reusable content elements that make up a portal site, such as an expense application or an e-mail program.
The product will also include Sybase's Portal Framework, which includes a feature that lets an end user grab content from the Web and add it to a portal in the form of a new portlet. Portal Framework makes use of technology that Sybase gained through its acquisition of OnePage in April.
The product will also include a redesigned user interface intended to make the product easier to use and some improved security features, according to Sybase. Enterprise Portal 5.0 will work with application servers from multiple vendors.
