IBM Conference Berlin

October 6th, 2008

So, here I am in Berlin at an IBM Websphere Portal technical conference. I’ve absolutely zero experience and knowledge about IBM portal, but I’m learning fast now. My notes so far (yes, they are sketchy):

V04
systemic analysis of competition:
- M$, Oracle, SAP, jboss, liferay, exo, jetspeed
? mitigate business risk? trend?

Campaign management

(down) Admin->footprint, site analysis
Performance -> IBM throughput is the highest?
TCO rises for competition, IBM stays more or less equal

WSP can consume sharepoint func/data

(Oracle portal dies?)

WSP can consume SAP func/data

Liferay: departmental focus
OpenSource: IT dept. use it to extend their own ability
func is low, TCO is high, risk is high

B01
Permissions: locks: lock a part of the page
Attribute based admin: business rules for visibility
–> can also instantiate pages
WSP: exposes a lot of api methods as rest services
semantic tags
ajax proxy –> proxy ajax call to other sites through the portal
Situational applications (and the long tail)
possibility: move situational apps into the enterprise env. (not yet finished, next months)
virtual portals –> like desktops/teamsites
create through a wizard
edit thought customization GUI
accelerators: working example implementations

V01
Skipped

D13 – Mainsoft
Goal: give access to sharepoint through WSP, NOT give edit capabilities
–> meaning: sharepoint will still be the point for editing

challenges: functionality, content, security
solution 1: expose sharepoint lists in WSP
solution 2: SP SDK to build composite apps across .NET and Java

Security integration: credential vault, 1 user account, kerberos
Chose: direct link between office and sharepoint OR link through WSP
–> through WSP you lose the sharepoint integration
–> it becomes readonly (download)

Create java portlets from .Net –> use Visual Studio, compile (using the Mainsoft compiler) from .Net to Java –> delivers .war file

Web 2.0 mashup
share content and knowledge
spaces
find colleges
Find and contact experts

(Quickr = sharepoint)
Quickr is build on top of WSP
-> Lists, livetext, …

Lotus connections
-> social networks for business
profiles, communities, blogs, dogear (bookmarks), activities, homepage

Lotus Mashup
-> business/enterprise mashup
create mashups, list mashups in a directory (hub)
