Portal platform

What are portals?

Web portals allow people to interact with other people, applications, processes, documents and other content in a personalized and role-based fashion. In a day and age when information overload has become commonplace, portals allow context-relevant resources to be presented via common Web browsers, placing what you need to complete the job at hand at you fingertips, regardless of where you are.

Why a portal might be right for your organization

Many IT solutions provide needed functionality, but require you to learn a new way to work. Portals allow you to customize your work environment to your own needs, present resources in a consistent fashion, and can provide a personalized experience based upon your previous preferences or specific role within an organization.

In addition, portals can help organizations address the challenges inherent with ‘build your own’ Web solutions, such as:
 
  1. Finding it difficult to keep up with the pace of evolution and the demand of user communities
  2. Needing to reduce application development resources an time to market
  3. Wanting to optimize the allocation of scarce IT resources, skills and budget

 

Combined benefits of One™ and portal:

Many banks are standardising their architecture on portal. Companies take maximum advantage of this infrastructure by integrating native portal applications that are fully compliant with the portal characteristics as personalisation, language independency, security, single-sign-on etc.

 

One™ is fully integrated with Websphere Portal. IBM therefore tested and certificated our applications as "Ready for Websphere". Click here to access the One™ demo portal.  Some of the clear advantages are:

 

  1. Integrated market data and trading solutions
  2. Leveraging existing functionalities for multi-channel access, personalisation security and self-service
  3. Quicker time-to-market through availability of many standard, ready-to-deploy portlets and easy addition of new instruments and products
  4. Basis for business intelligence initiatives ( client behaviour, trending, hedging, risk exposure, etc.)
  5. Robust and linearly scalable solution supporting tens of thousands of concurrent users
  6. No installation of software on the clients ( no Java applets)
  7. Separation of front-, from middle-, back-office and data vendors
  8. Limited additional development costs possible through buy vs build, standard product, ready to use functionality
  9. lower total cost of ownership through broader and more frequent use of the application(s)
  10. On top of the existing personalisatin features, One™ allows for deep, 2nd level personalization possibilities per product, client, client structure, currency and currency pairs
