User Productivity
Improve
Productivity with Unified Access to Information and Applications
The
proliferation of Web sites within an organization makes it
challenging for employees to find the information they need to
perform their daily tasks. Oracle's enterprise portal solution
provides graphical tools that enables users to aggregate a range of
information from a variety of sources, which dramatically reduces
the time spent searching for information. OracleAS Portal displays
applications and information in components called a portlet. Users
can group portlets together on the same page, providing a single,
aggregated view of relevant and timely information resulting in
improved productivity.
Select from Over 300 Pre-Built
Portlets
Portal users can select more than 300 portlets from
market-leading vendors in OracleAS Portal Center's
Portal Catalog. Examples of pre-built portlets include news
feeds and other syndicated content and applications such as content
management, search, email and collaboration.
Access Relevant Applications with
Single Sign-On
Oracle's
enterprise portal solution provides built-in single sign-on
capabilities enabling users to log-in once to access applications
and information in the portal. Single sign-on handles authentication
to all relevant applications and resources. By reducing the number
of user name and password combinations users and administrators
needs to manage, OracleAS Portal with integrated single sign-on
increases security and reduces administration costs.
Share Knowledge
and Enhance Collaboration Among Cross-Functional Teams
An
enterprise portal can serve as a resource for teams, departments,
and communities to share information and collaborate on common
interests or specific projects. Oracle's enterprise portal solution
provides all the necessary tools for collaborating and sharing
knowledge. Its self-service publishing and workflow capabilities
enabling cross-functional teams to publish and manage documents
without the assistance of a Webmaster. In addition, OracleAS Portal
is the interface for Oracle Collaboration Suite, which provide
additional collaboration features including unified messaging
(email, voicemail and fax) and online meeting.
Information Access
Get Real-Time Access to Crucial
Business Information
Enterprise
data is scattered across a variety of disconnected systems including
databases, Web sites, and files systems making it difficult to
access and process data in a sane and orderly fashion. Organizations
have tried to solve this problem by spending millions of dollars
integrating disparate systems, yet current e-business applications
fail to give executives the insight they need to make informed
decisions. How can business users obtain timely information and make
actionable, fact-based evaluations? By choosing an enterprise portal
with integrated business intelligence capabilities, executives can
obtain real-time access to information and make informed decisions.
Obtain a Single View of Key Metrics
Oracle's
business intelligence capabilities can be incorporated into its
enterprise portal solution enabling the integration of structured
data, Web content, and legacy applications. With OracleAS Discoverer
and OracleAS Reports, users can run queries against an integrated
set of data, produce reports in various formats, and distribute the
information via the portal. Senior executives can access the portal
to selectively monitor key metrics and direct their staff's response
to rapidly changing conditions. Managers and employees can easily
get the same real-time data and take action on information that
previously resided in isolated silos.
Control Costs by Mapping Inventory
to Market Demand
The ability to securely share information about inventories and
demand forecasts with partners and suppliers is crucial to
controlling costs and delivering products that meet market
requirements. OracleAS Portal leverages OracleAS Integration's
application integration functionality which provides
pre-packaged adapters that enable organizations to integrate and
access their supply chain systems and share authorized information
with partners and suppliers. These capabilities allow organizations
to plan and monitor inventory levels more effectively resulting in
reduced costs.
Website Consolidation
Consolidate Access to Websites and
Realize Positive ROI
An enterprise with hundreds of unmanaged Web sites spread across
multiple servers can spend millions of dollars in hardware,
software, maintenance, development and administration costs.
OracleAS Portal provide a single portal framework which enables
access to these Web sites using a single interface. This capability
allows an organization to reduce the number of servers, centralize
administration and maintenance which result in reduced overall
operating costs.
Build and Deploy Portals Using an
Infrastructure-Based Solution
Enterprise portals have evolved from simply aggregating Web sites.
Today, enterprise portals are becoming the the de-facto interface
into an organization's information and applications. Thus, portals
must be built on an infrastructure that ensures security,
scalability, and high availability. Oracle's enterprise portal
solution leverages all the functionality of Oracle Application
Server enabling organizations to build and deploy fully functional
enterprise portals.
Ensure Interoperability with Open
Standards
Oracle's enterprise portal solution supports open Internet standards
such as HTTP, XML and SOAP and it also adheres to
portal standards such as WSRP and JSR 168. In addition,
organizations can incorporate Web Services and J2EE- based
components like Java Server Pages (JSPs), Java Servlets, and
Enterprise JavaBeans (EJBs) into the portal as portlets without
writing additional code.
Achieve Business
Objectives with an Enterprise Portal
According
to Gartner Research, organizations view portals as a solution for
facilitating its overall business goals and objectives. OracleAS
Portal provides a complete solution that enables all users, whether
technical or business, to access information and applications as
well as enhance the portal's functionality to meet business
objectives.
