MONGOOSE TECHNOLOGY ANNOUNCES PORTALSTUDIO 2.0 WITH INTERACTION MANAGEMENT
Vendor-neutral portal platform now includes RealCommunities 2.0
collaboration applications and Interaction Management Web services
Houston, October 22, 2001 - Mongoose Technology, Inc., the company that set
the benchmark for Portal Lifecycle Management and the first company to
deliver a complete J2EET-based portal design, assembly, deployment, and
management solution, today announced Mongoose PortalStudioT 2.0. The
product, which provides an integrated development environment and portal
platform, now includes Mongoose RealCommunitiesT applications and
Interaction Management web services for online collaboration. Using Mongoose
PortalStudio and Mongoose RealCommunities, companies can incorporate
Interaction Management into their portals and Web sites to increase employee
productivity, enhance partner effectiveness, and build customer loyalty.
Delphi Group has defined Interaction Management: "Interaction management
refers to web applications used to cultivate relationships among portal
constituents. These person-to-person web services facilitate group
formation, enhance team collaboration, and empower knowledge exchange
between employees, customers, partners, and suppliers. Interaction
Management helps organizations capture and retain intellectual capital,
reduce employee turnover, increase team productivity, and build customer
loyalty."
"Interaction Management is a critical component of any portal strategy, and
necessary for effectively nurturing online community and user
relationships," says Nathaniel Palmer, Chief Analyst at Delphi Group. "In
PortalStudio, Mongoose provides the first comprehensive set of web services
for interaction management, within a application framework specifically
designed for deploying and managing portal components."
"We provide enterprise applications to the health care industry and
international retailers" said Brian Fox, Vice President of
MySoftwarePartner. "Our customers must provide timely and accurate
information to consumers and to government agencies. We are using Mongoose
PortalStudio to provide more useful information by aggregating our systems
with other corporate applications in the Enterprise Portal. We are
incorporating RealCommunities collaboration applications to improve customer
support and to reduce the cost of gathering and reporting consumer data. "
PortalStudio with Interaction Management
RealCommunities collaboration applications are modular WebComponentsT of the
PortalStudio platform that can be embedded into any Web site or portal. They
are supported by RealCommunities Web Services that provide open API's to
gather, store, and act upon person and activity related data.
"Interaction Management is the set of person-to-person web services that
support online relationships and transactions," says Mr. Palmer. The
RealCommunities Web Services are based on the Mongoose 12 Principles of
CollaborationT, and include Identity, Groups, Reputation, Environment and
Communication.
RealCommunities WebComponents provide structured interactions to support
group goals. These collaboration capabilities can be incorporated into new
or existing portals and Web sites. RealCommunities WebComponents include:
Expertise & Skills Directory - This application facilitates the search
for a person or a group with the expertise, skills, service capability, or
reputation matching the user's needs.
Engagement & Feedback - After identifying an appropriate individual or
group, the application allows the user to negotiate an agreement for a
consultative or service relationship with the provider and subsequently to
rate the quality and usefulness of the provider's services.
Messages & Chat - These WebComponents provide Message Boards, Chat, and
Instant Messaging
Question & Answer - This post-a-question and get-an-answer mechanism
can be a public or private dialog and is used for self-help and support
applications.
File Sharing & Collaboration - Users can access content from WebDAV
(Web-based distributed authoring and versioning) clients and DAV-enabled
software packages such as Mongoose PortalStudioT, Microsoft® Office XP,
Microsoft® Web Folders, Adobe Acrobat®, and Macromedia Dreamweaver®. Thus a
Word® user can directly open documents that are stored in PortalStudio-based
portals.
Review & Recommend - This facility enables community members to provide
opinions and ratings, look at what others are saying, and view a composite
score of any participant or document.
Rewards & Incentives - Reward employees, partners, or customers who
participate in desired online activities. The application can be configured
to promote loyalty by providing incentives and rewards for desired
behaviors. The rules are easy to configure and change as business needs
evolve.
Tests & Polls - This utility enables a service provider or group leader
to ask questions of a population. Rules can be applied to responses to
generate scoring reports or individualized actions, e.g., if pass test, then
update reputation and deliver certification by email.
Companies can enhance their ebusiness effectiveness with Mongoose
RealCommunitiesT Interaction Management applications for increasing
productivity of sales teams, cultivating buyer and partner loyalty,
capturing better market data, and accelerating innovation and time to
market.
PortalStudio 2.0 Delivers Fast Results
Mongoose PortalStudio 2.0 is a visual portal assembly environment that
allows users to quickly and easily design portal components, assemble them
into a portal, then validate and deploy their portal solution to, for
example, BEA WebLogic. The simplicity of PortalStudio 2.0's one-click wizard
for configuring and deploying to environments such as BEA WebLogic is
dramatic. Like a "portal compiler," the PortalStudio one-click wizard
eliminates timely editing of complex J2EE and BEA specific configuration
files.
Other powerful features and capabilities in PortalStudio 2.0 include:
Instant WebSkinT Personalization
The presentation of information can be customized to the individual or
company standards using Mongoose WebSkins. Users can pick an existing
WebSkin from the PortalStudio library and re-brand their Web application or
apply a custom look-and-feel in seconds. With PortalStudio's
"person-to-system" Web services, XML-based content can be aggregated,
categorized, searched, and cached, served up to various display devices, and
personalized depending on browser, browser version, user, role, locale,
display device, language, and custom rules. Altogether, users can build an
application once, access it from many convenient devices, and be greeted by
a personal presentation.
Aggregate Corporate Applications
Corporate applications and databases can be aggregated into the portal with
Mongoose PortalStudio's "system-to-system" Web services for aggregation,
mapping & merging, caching, scheduled queries, and Rules and Alarms.
Mongoose PortalStudio includes WebConnectors for XML, JDBC, JCA, and MS
Exchange.
Enhance Existing Applications
Mongoose's "federated" approach means users can use Mongoose's PortalStudio
to create a portal from scratch and deploy it on a J2EE application server
from any of the leading vendors; maintain and enhance existing portal
applications; or embed Mongoose WebComponents into an existing Web
application. WebComponents included with PortalStudio include Table, Tree,
News, Document Sharing, Document Search, Message Boards, Chat, Instant
Messaging, email, and a MiniBrowser with source code.
