Many of today’s biggest businesses are dependent on their Business to Consumer (B2C), Business to Business (B2B), and Business to Employee (B2E) portals to effectively maintain there competitive edge. Portal technology has emerged as the primary interface for providing employees, customers or partners unified access to corporate resources. A portal infrastructure can drastically increase the time to market associated with delivering customer value and Portletsuite can extend that flexibility to the maximum.

Portletsuite extends the value of one of the leading  portal products: BEA WebLogic Portal (source: Gartner  Magic Quadrant for Horizontal Portal Products 2006)  by offering a suite with out-of-the-box portlets to compose, extend and maintain your portals.

Portlets are building blocks which allow your team to dynamically ‘compose’ a website from smaller items. They are basically ‘types’ of functionality that you can buy and not build.

There are many kinds of portlets such as Link Lists, Events, Forums, Polls, and others which can be given any look and- feel without changing a line of code (only on CSS level). Portletsuite provides the following technical/business benefits:

• Compose and extend your portals rapidly
  (save up to 50% on your development costs)
• Manage and maintain your portals cost effectively
  (save up to 50% on your maintenance)
  

Web Content Management
Content Management is a job that should be done by the business (content owner) itself, without the need to have any technical knowledge. Content management in Portletsuite is easy, natural and logical. We offer complete integration of content management in the front-end of the portal (the way the visitor views the webpage). When a content manager is logged in, they are immediately clear which portlets they can manage. The result of every editorial action is WYSIWIG and shown so that editors without training can start using the program right away.. Content can be reused by using channels. One channel can publish to multiple portets.
