Structure and care of process oriented web- and wireless portals

Optimal business processes presuppose an effective integration of the own employees, business partners and customers. They must be supplied in personalised form with comprehensive and up-to-date knowledge to the achievement processes - and ideally at any time and in any place of the world. Only one point of entrance is needed, which makes a simple and comfortable entrance to the various sources of knowledge, for operational and analytic applications possible. These requirements are fulfilled by enterprise portals, which are made available as web portals in the intranet, internet or on mobile terminals.

PROMATIS Portal solutions
PROMATIS consequently focuses on the components of the Oracle Application Server when implementing enterprise portals. Based on the Oracle database, personalized web portals are developed with Oracle Portal. For mobile applications we use the wireless option in the Oracle Application Server Enterprise Edition. In the portals portlets are integrated, in which the actual functionality is made available to the user. Behind the portlets lie application components, which are embedded for process support into comprehensive workflows. The support of LDAP directory services for the single sign-on and the compliance of safety standards (SSL, coded passwords, electronic signatures) for use in the internet are self-evident for PROMATIS solutions.

Developing portals
The development of individual portals is subject to project risks that are not to be underestimated. With the proven PROMATIS procedure model IQPM, which contains a specialization for the portal development, these risks can be avoided. It covers the entire development process from the requirements analysis to start-up and also the following operation of the portal. The key for dramatic cost savings lies in the consistent use of all features available in the Oracle Application Server in connection with Open Source-resources and the recourse to PROMATIS Best Practices.

Content Management without detours
Oracle Portal offers basic elements for Web Content Management. Based on these, we set up a comprehensive environment for a final user-suitable content management. For an enterprise portal is only used constantly if it is guaranteed that the most current and complete as possible information is available at any time. The supply of contents takes place – depending on access rights - simply by drag & drop, and there are editorship processes available that are workflow supported, which can be adapted by the user to specific issues.
