Report Excerpt

The Enterprise Portals Report 2009 looks at... IBM WebSphere Portal

"The distinctions among these different solutions are important, but it can be hard to tell which specific features come from which IBM product. Your software costs can easily exceed those of competing products when you look at the big picture. "

(p. 127)

More about The Enterprise Portals Report 2009

Our customers say

"We found the Enterprise Portals Report to be extremely helpful in our efforts to implement a revamped and improved portal at our organization. Not only were the portal product evaluations impartial and thorough, but the 'best practices' advice contained in the report was excellent! Your report saved us a lot of time and money by consolidating a wealth of information in one spot. Worth every penny!

Previewing the next release of IBM WebSphere Portal

05-Apr-2006

Earlier this week IBM shared some high-level details about the upcoming version 6 of the IBM WebSphere Portal Server, due out this summer. It should be of little surprise to Enterprise Portals Report readers that usability improvements are ahead, including native integration with Microsoft Office and better search features. However, according to UK-based Computer Business Review "IBM is not looking at adding AJAX capabilities to add Web 2.0-like local dynamic capabilities...because AJAX tooling and best practices remain immature." This is news for several other portal and CMS vendors who have successfully integrated AJAX-based interfaces. Across the industry many portal users are waiting on major upgrades. So far Microsoft has been quite open about forthcoming SharePoint changes, while IBM has been a bit more circumspect.
