Bowstreet announced the commercial availability of Business Web Portal Solutions, a ready-to-use suite of products that enables businesses to produce customizable portals to expedite enterprise information sharing, eCRM, syndicated storefronts, corporate intranets, partner extranets and supply chain collaboration. Because Business Web Portals are built on top of the Bowstreet Business Web Factory, companies can realize economies of scale by aggregating disparate e-business initiatives on a single, vendor-neutral platform. Using Business Web Portals, non-technical business people can produce customized portals for thousands of different users and dozens of e-business initiatives, with minimal help from IT and in a fraction of the time and cost required by traditional “hard-wired” enterprise portal solutions. Business Web Portals can assemble business process components from legacy systems and client/server applications such as ERP, CRM and supply chains, as well as web services from Microsoft.NET, Sun ONE, Oracle Dynamic Services, IBM Web Services, and/or HP E-Speak as they become available. Business Web Portals include plug-and-play web services “modules” for news, Microsoft Outlook and e-mail integration, and other business functions as well as point-and-click wizards. www.bowstreet.com
