IBM has expanded itsWebSphere Portalsoftware portfolio
with the availability of two additional business-ready
packages.
The "accelerators" can be easily added to a customer's portal to
drive
online training projects and automate key business processes,
IBM said.
The two new accelerator packages provide training, development
and education projects through an IBM Lotus Sametime Web
conference.
IBM Learning Accelerator enables businesses to provide
personalised online training within the context of employees'
ongoing activities.
IBM Business Process Accelerator is designed to simplify and
improve the adoption of business processes by using the role-based,
personalised user interface of WebSphere Portal, to improve both
implementation and end user response times for business
processes.
The two new accelerators add to the collection already
available, including IBM Self-Service Accelerator for human
resources tasks, IBM Dashboard Accelerator, IBM Collaboration
Accelerator for team collaboration, IBM Content Accelerator for
building and managing websites, and IBM Enterprise Suite
Accelerator which supports multiple portal projects.
