Update to Portals and Content Integration Research
Last week, we released Version 9 of our Portals and Content Integration Report.
We have made many updates to the existing vendor reviews. Most enterprise portal vendors have released minor or major updates to their tools and so we have refreshed our evaluations to reflect those changes.
Besides individual vendor evaluations, the other key updates are:
- We've modified the structure of the reviews, to bring them in line with our other research streams as well as for better readability
- We've added new evaluation scenarios for the content integration products that we cover
- We've archived a few vendors that are moving out of this space, but if you are keen on them, you can still access existing reviews from the archives
Perhaps most importantly, we have also started tracking very closely how each portal platform supports mobile access and delivery. Frankly, barring a few vendors, most are not really providing anything more than a very basic support for mobile devices. That's a bit of a disappointment, as we'd have expected portal vendors to do much more. Mobile is a big area of focus for us now, and we'll be writing much more about it in all our reports as well as elsewhere.
