IBM Web Experience Factory
System requirements
IBM WebSphere Portal, the market-leading portal server, delivers a single point of personalized interaction with applications, content, processes, and people for a unified user experience. By choosing WebSphere Portal, companies can realize significant benefits, including increased employee productivity and higher customer and partner satisfaction.
To derive the maximum business value from a portal deployment, companies will need to populate their portals with custom views or portlets (and widgets) that aggregate data, content, and processes from existing applications. Typically, the majority of these portlets will need to be custom built in order to incorporate the companies' unique data, business processes, presentation requirements, and organizational structures.
Custom Portlet Development Simplified
IBM Web Experience Factory supercharges application development with tools and technology for easily creating, customizing, deploying, and maintaining portlets, widgets and web and rich clients. With IBM Web Experience Factory, developers are able to quickly and easily leverage their company's core assets, automatically assembling them into custom, high-value portlets. Portlets created with IBM Web Experience Factory are dynamic, robust Java Platform Enterprise Edition (Java EE) applications that react automatically to change, and can be further modified by business users in real time, to meet changing business requirements without requiring any coding, duplicating or versioning of assets. By eliminating the need to code all of these implementations and their variations, IBM Web Experience Factory simplifies the development, deployment and change management process, saving companies time and money, and freeing developers to focus on more important, strategic work.
