Formerly "InfoImage
Portal 5.0," this product was recently acquired by ServiceWare. We are proud to
offer Knowledge Portal, the most scalable and flexible portal platform
available, allowing organizations to rapidly deploy intranet, extranet and
Internet portal solutions. Knowledge Portal 5.0 includes a rich set of features
for development, deployment, administration and end-user adoption of the portal.
According to leading technology analyst firm The Delphi Group, there are several
key features required for a successful portal platform: integration,
categorization, search, publication and distribution, process, collaboration,
personalization and presentation. Knowledge Portal delivers these functions
through five technology differentiators. Based on their criteria, The Delphi
Group deemed the product "a true platform." Integrate Data and Applications
Through the Portal Enterprise Integration Services bring virtually any
application, data or content source into the portal. Web services and .NET run
natively within the portal. This non-invasive form of integration leaves the
original sources untouched, delivering results more quickly than traditional
forms of integration. Developers can quickly build applications that increase
the ROI of existing enterprise systems. Users benefit from new combinations of
information that were previously unavailable from disconnected and
non-integrated data sources and applications, helping them to make informed
business decisions more quickly. Find Relevant Information Relevance Engine
Services automatically provide users with relevant information according to
roles, interests and authorization. Knowledge Portal enables users to search
documents, discussions, intranet content, Internet Web sites and corporate file
systems through a hierarchy of concepts rather than complicated and inaccurate
keywords searches. Organizations benefit from reduced time spent looking for
critical information and a reduction in information overload, two factors that
delay decision making. Deliver Customized Content to Many Devices and Audiences
Advanced Personalization and Presentation Services deliver customized user
interfaces and content both inside and outside an organization to any Web
enabled device. Knowledge Portal delivers content and functionality personalized
to the needs of employees, partners, suppliers and customers. In addition,
administrators can personalize content for user communities and users can
personalize their own content. The ServiceWare architecture reduces the costs of
development and delivery of content to multiple devices from a single server.
Collaborate Around Documents and Portal Content Collaboration Services enable
users and communities to collaborate in context with documents, threaded
discussions and portal content. The flexible design of Knowledge Portal provides
these features for individual portal pages, corporate workspaces and
communities. Users benefit from the ability to share information — and get
answers to their questions — more quickly and easily, and groups of users can
rapidly foster virtual workgroups through community-specific information
sharing. Build, Manage and Extend Federated Portal Networks Enterprise
Federation Services allow for central management of multiple portal initiatives
and sites, reducing costs of intranet and extranet development and
administration. Knowledge Portal scales to meet the needs of the largest
organizations without sacrificing features or performance.
