/a/b/s/ showcases portal tech

Portal technology was the focus of discussion in a series of forums hosted by Active Business Solutions Inc. (/a/b/s/) for information technology executives and consultants in the past two months.

The forums focused on the many features of Oracle portal technology such a single-user sign-in, customizable view, on-the-spot updating of portal site content, and real-time consolidation of content from other information providers, among other things.

"Portals are useful tools for companies with many users and with many branches that have to be linked together," /a/b/s/ senior applications developer Neil Palo said.

"These organizations can benefit greatly from the uses portals provide such as real-time exchange of information, flexible view, and defined level of approval authority to make their businesses more complete and integrated," Palo added.

The forums included an overview of the features of Oracle technology products and Oracle Portal, as well as a live demonstration of practical applications using Oracle Portal.

IT experts from the retail, manufacturing and financial services industries attended the first two forums last February. Another forum was held last month for IT representatives from different government agencies.
