IBM WebSphere Portal is an enterprise software to build and manage web portals. It provides access to web content and applications, while delivering personalized experiences for users.
The WebSphere Portal package is a component of WebSphere application software. Like WebSphere, WebSphere Portal is developed and marketed by IBM. Portal has been released since 2001, and is now sold in five editions.
WebSphere Portal software has been reviewed numerous times in the IT industry press, and honors include eWeek Magazine's 2004 Excellence Award in the category "Portals and Knowledge Management", Java Pro Magazine's 2003 Reader's Choice Award for "Best Team Development Tool", and the Software & Information Industry Association's 2003 Codie Award for "Best Enterprise Portal Platform".
The WebSphere Portal package is available in five editions: WebSphere Portal Server, WebSphere Portal Enable, WebSphere Portal Enable for z/OS, WebSphere Portal Extend, and WebSphere Portal Express.
The basic package includes a web server, WebSphere Application Server, LDAP directory, IBM DB2 database, development tools, web site templates and other essential site management tools such as a configuration wizard. In addition, some editions of WebSphere Portal include limited entitlements to Lotus Web Content Management, Lotus Quickr document management, Lotus Sametime instant messaging, and Lotus Forms electronic forms. For WebSphere Portal Enable for z/OS, WebSphere Application Server and IBM DB2 database must be purchased separately.
IBM announced that WebSphere Portal package will be included in IBM Customer Experience Suite.
The WebSphere Portal software suite adheres to industry standards: the Java Portlet Definition Standard (both JSR 168/v1 and JSR 286/v2 specifications) defined by the Java Community Process, as well as the Web Services for Remote Portlets (both WSRP 1.0 and 2.0) specifications defined by the Web Services for Remote Portlets OASIS Technical Committee.
