Are you looking for more agility, responsive, and context-rich enterprise portals in order to drive innovation and keep their organization’s competitive edge? With the influence of Web 2.0 technologies such as blogs, wikis, and social networking, employees, customers and partners expect these rich Web 2.0 capabilities to be included in the applications, portals and Web sites that they use. This means that organizations will need to deliver rich, participatory enterprise portals and other web-based applications that make it easy for users to immediately locate what they need through a variety of ways, quickly access and connect with like-minded users and experts, and directly personalize and customize applications to meet their specific needs.
Agility means making your organization faster, more intelligence to make business decisions by giving your users the ability to integrate, aggregate, categorize, filter, and share all your information sources. To achieve this, organizations will need two things. First a modern, comprehensive and robust integration platform and a enterprise portal technology that is flexible enough to access and manage a diverse universe of information, yet robust enough to leverage relevant information with traditional enterprise infrastructure and applications. They will also need user-friendly services and capabilities that allow business users to easily create a single-view of all the resources available, and quickly share these findings, resources and information with other users and groups within, across, and even outside their organization.
There is no doubt that Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) have taken the Web by storm. The meteoric rise in popularity of RIA has been accompanied by the introduction of the term “Web 2.0”, which conveys a whole new way of delivering Web based applications to enterprise users. Facilitated by technologies such as Ajax, RIAs deliver the power and flexibility of desktop applications but with the convenience and cost savings of running software in a standard browser.
