Enterprise Information Portal Overview
IBM's Enterprise Information Portal provides the foundation for a single
point of access to both structured and unstructured information sources.
The architectural design of the Enterprise Information Portal provides
the foundation and development toolkit for customers to develop connectors
to data sources such as business applications, file systems, collaborative
and relational databases and more.
Single searches across varied sources locates information such as documents,
printed output, audio and video recordings, XML and HTML content. For
example, an insurance customer service representative can have access
to policyholder information, correspondence, voice messages, accident
video clips, and information on current promotional offerings in one
simple view.
IBM's Enterprise Information Portal application development toolkit
and unified API set provides the components to simplify and speed application
development. This significantly reduces the time and resource required
to develop corporate portal-enabled applications.
Advanced search capabilities of the IBM Enterprise Information Portal
provide enablement for full text and parametric search, including XML
or HTML structured document searches. The relevant information provided
in context empowers more effective decision making and faster response
to customer questions.
The unique value of IBM Enterprise Information Portal is the open,
modular connector foundation, which enables search across both structured
and unstructured information sources. The Enterprise Information Portal
will enable business users to make faster, more effective business decisions,
enhance customer service, and reduce operational expenses.
