An Overview of Enterprise Portals: Today and TomorrowMarco TilliVice PresidentOracle Corporation

“This presentation is for informational purposes only and may not be incorporated into a contract or agreement.”

The second greatest computer ever built took 7.5 million years to calculate the answer to the ultimate question, and in the end announced that the answer was in

fact 42.

That made a lot of people very angry.

The second greatest computer then explained that nobody really understood what the question was in the first place.

So another, even bigger, computer had to be built to find out what the actual question was.

Why so quickly?

Portal frameworks were born out ofthe critical need to simplify access to disparate systems– Precursor to SOA : UI integration and composition– Middleware platforms: still in their infancy– Packaged solutions: proprietary monoliths

Internet computing evolution– SOA and Middleware platforms– Packaged solutions evolving towards SOA

Middleware platforms

Meet Business Needs forFlexibility and Speed– Ability to connect information, processes and

collaborative services into a cohesive, adaptablewhole

Through standard based integrationof heterogeneous services– Service composition both at and below the UI

Packaged solutions

Moving towards SOA– Business applications– Collaborative suites– Productivity tools– Exposing services– Moving towards SOA as the underlying architecture

A few key ISV’s are providing bothapplications and platform

Portal selection process

Tied to middleware strategy– Portal technology is an integral part of the

middleware fabric– Complete portal solutions typically require multiple

platform components

Tied to business solution strategy– Portal comes pre-integrated with packaged solutions– Packaged solution is built on the same middleware

platform

Oracle’s Strategy

Oracle Fusion Architecture– Blueprint for SOA-based Enterprise Business Solutions

Oracle Database & Fusion Middleware– Technology Infrastructure for Fusion Architecture

Oracle Business Applications– Integrate, Extend, Evolve through Fusion Architecture

Customer Benefits– Meets Business Needs for Flexibility & Speed

Fusion Architecture

Flexible Applications– Develop Modular Service-Oriented Applications

Adaptive Business Processes– Design, Monitor, Optimize Flexible Business Processes

Actionable Business Insight– Drive Performance with Consolidated, Actionable Intelligence

Consolidated Information Management– Consolidate Information with Unified Data Model in Clustered DBMS

Collaborative Portals– Connect People, Information and Processes, in context

Better Security & Ownership– Deploy and Manage on Grids with Unified Identity Management

Portal: Face of Fusion Architecture

Unified delivery vehicle for all end-user services– content and information– business intelligence– business processes– collaborationBring services to the end user, in context
