 Portal Technology & Web Services (October 2002) Summary
E-business is a rapidly maturing technology, and now the dotcom boom and bust is over, its enduring usefulness is becoming clearer.
One factor in the consolidation of e-business’ role in corporate life is the emergence of portal technology and web services over the past year or two.
Enterprise portals offer a web technology-based ‘window’ onto an enterprise’s entire range of applications and information – promising rapid return on a relatively small investment.
Underpinning this is web services, an emerging set of technology standards that provide the glue for the communication being achieved.
We research the client take-up of portals and web services in our latest research article, while over the rest of the publication consultants from firms such as CMG, Ovum, Xayce and C-i offer their views on subjects like the best way to achieve return on investment from a portal, the security issues raised by web services and portals, and ‘best practice’ in portal implementation.
