In recent news from Germany (auf deutsch), the local Stellent office announced that an integration with NetWeaver Portal, developed by an integrator partner, has been certified by SAP. The integration is based on "iViews" (a portlet in SAP lingo), enabling access to various Stellent services via the portal, including check-in/-out, versioning, workflow, and search. SAP is one of the few enterprise vendors to remain quiet about its own web CMS capabilities. SAP integration is also available in Documentum, Interwoven, Open Text and Synkron, among others. Other portal vendors like BEA and IBM are more or less abandoning the partner route and increasingly telling customers that they don't need to invest in a 3^rd-party Web CMS products for their requirements. Buyers should remain skeptical about the Web CMS capabilities of major portal vendors.
