A portal is a website that bundles information from various applications and services and offers users personalized and needs-based access to processes. Such a personalized information pool has proven highly effective in enterprises with dispersed application landscapes and complex processes.

Introducing portals is worthwhile where users have to be able to access multiple interrelated applications to do their job. The more applications in use, the greater the benefit of a portal. Complex processes such as order processing, which often requires rapid back-and-forth switches between various applications, can be handled far more effectively using a portal. The information is made available in precisely the form it is needed from an organizational perspective. It is application-independent and needs-based to permit focused task handling.

CENIT implements portals based on IBM WebSphere Portal Server and its “lite” version, the IBM WebSphere Portal Server Express.

CENIT also specializes in developing so-called portlets, portal windows in which information selected from the individual applications is displayed. The creation of individual portlets has the advantage of allowing the integration of applications which cannot be portrayed using standard portals. In this way, the type of information made available can be far better customized to the requirements of the individual enterprise.

CENIT thus offers you:   

• Analysis of existing job processes and the application landscape in order to determine the information structure
• Configuration of standard portlets to specific requirements
• Development of new, individualized portlets
