With social media integration and mobile-readiness, portal users can
enjoy a seamless customer experience
RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source
solutions, today announced the availability of Red Hat JBoss Portal 6.1.
The latest version of Red Hat's lean portal technology enables
enterprises to accelerate self-service application development and
integrate information, people, and processes to create an experience
that is seamless with a customer's everyday activities. With integration
to popular social media websites and new mobile capabilities, JBoss
Portal 6.1 enables enterprises to better attract and retain customers
with superior self-service.
JBoss Portal provides enterprises with the ability to accelerate the
creation and deployment of high-impact, innovative web applications that
offer real-time, personalized engagement with their customers, partners,
or citizens. Due to its lightweight architecture, ability to perform at
scale, and ease of integration into existing infrastructure, JBoss
Portal is well-suited to meet a variety of needs and use cases,
including extending market reach with external websites, delivering
online customer self-service, acting as the foundation for a white-label
product, or empowering partner networks.
JBoss Portal 6.1 offers a number of key features and capabilities
designed to help enterprises build innovative customer experiences,
including:
-
Integration with Facebook,
Google+,
and Twitter,
which gives users the ability to log-in using their third-party
credentials as well as share information and updates between the
portal application and the social media website.
-
Device detection rules that can be set by administrators to
automatically redirect users to a mobile-friendly version of the
website. In technology preview, an adaptive user interface allows
JBoss Portal to render the appropriate layout for each page using
mobile-optimized HTML, JavaScript, and CSS.
-
Public navigation APIs that let application developers build
navigation portlets, giving users the ability to tailor their
experience with customized menus.
-
A Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) that describes how
JBoss Portal supports accessibility for people with disabilities in
compliance with Section
508 of the U.S.
Workforce Rehabilitation Act.
Lean portals offer organizations a lightweight, high-performance
self-service solution that can be easily integrated into existing
systems and meets a wide range of user interface requirements. JBoss
Portal combines these benefits with the advantages of open source,
including flexibility, scalability, and transparency — often a more
cost-effective approach than large, one-size-fits-all proprietary
offerings and custom-built solutions.
