IBM has announced a simplified
Websphere Portal offering with enhanced
Web 2.0 tooling and a set of tailored
business-ready packages or “accelerators”.
Accelerators for Websphere Portal address specific business
problems and can simplify the implementation of customised
solutions on a single portal platform, said IBM
For example,
IBM Dashboard Accelerator provides an easy
way for companies to align objectives, view real time business
results and address performance gaps.
Websphere Portal includes expanded support for Web 2.0
technologies such as enhanced interactivity and responsiveness,
in-line editing, intuitive drag and drop features, and intelligent
page refresh.
IBM said new Web 2.0 tooling means organisations can easily
deploy high performing, intuitive applications, satisfying end
users' expectations for a rich browser experience.
In the second half, IBM plans additional enhancements that will
allow Websphere Portal users to combine business data with
available Google Gadgets, to create new dynamic business
applications.
For instance, a logistics company would be able to create a
customer service application over the coordinates on a Google map
to show different pickup points.
