Editor's Notes
- #6 Our current software and services initiatives for Oracle WebCenter are shown here. We have recently been focused on developing products that provide Oracle WebCenter customers with new ways to contribute content. This includes solutions for Mobile ECM, extending Oracle WebCenter capabilities to iPhone, iPad and Android devices. Additionally, we have products that provide robust batch load capabilities of digital assets and then providing users with interactive ways to tag and group photographs, illustrations, and other creative assets. And our SharePoint connector provides users of both SharePoint and Oracle WebCenter Content with that desired SharePoint front-end collaboration and content contribution backed by the power of Oracle and finally the topic of today’s discussion the Google Search Appliance connector to enable WebCenter customers to harness the power of Google Search within WebCenter Content.
- #7 4 years ADF Time to market Stagnant content Project goals not aligned with business goals and objectives Technology adoption does not map to in-house skills - ADF End-users are ignored Cost and complexity underestimated Lack of fresh, relevant content Lack of governance
- #9 Different partner with ADF approach Went live Not usable New site rolled out in 60 days Extended WebCenter Content and Portal investments with single repository for Intranet assets and ‘public’ space templates built using WebCenter Spaces Eased content contribution through pre-packaged fields, profiles and rules within WebCenter Content
- #10 Professors wanted own content locations – page, after page, after page. Wanted to blog, create wiki documents. Framework to get it up fast. Enable easy maintenance Maintain and govern going forward. Business Problems before PSA: Fragment information system – no single source of truth Limited collaboration resulting in duplication of effort Low WebCenter ROI due to bottom-up technology push and one-off projects Benefits after PSA: Distributed, role-based contribution and personalization, leading to wide intranet adoption and overall use Increased collaboration by further leveraging the out-of-the-box WebCenter Portal capabilities, including blogs, wikis, activity streams, and event calendars Ability to create microsites eased navigation through links targeted to specific departments and groups
- #11 HealthPartners Employee engagement Couldn’t get anything live Legacy Portal Business users own content Accident Fund Back office integration with business applications Moving off WebLogic Portal
- #13 Many ways to architect and build a portal. There is the composite view of creating a large application. And then there is a componentized view. Development paradigm needs to change and how portals are architected. Best in class portals have a componentized structure and then is what PSA helps you build and deploy, setting you down the path for reuse, and ensuring a pleasant user experience. Fishbowl has built up the experience and expertise to help organization launch their portal. Don’t let your ADF developers build a monolithic application Develop WSRP portlets where there is re-use across other portal applications Spaces application can form the basis of the implementation Can be skinned to produce an engaging user experience Quickly implement collaborative intranet Look to 3rd party framework extensions rather than building your own. ADF developers can have a tendency to build monolithic applications that look like portals but are rigid applications and don’t benefit Build task flows and / or portlets and use page composer to assemble pages and manage navigation / page security. Use Spaces. Spaces application has matured, is extendable and customisable without writing lots of code to integrate collaborative services (plug for Fishbowl PSA)
- #20 Better engage business groups and users.

- #28 Another benefit of PSA, use of standards-based portlets. WebCenter Portal best practice – 4 content presenter portlets per page otherwise degrades performance. With PSA and the use of the Portal Integration Suite component included, you have the ability to use more than 4 porlets per page. Instead of having to write ADF taskflows to surface content elements, you can instead use Portal Integration Suite to build JSP queries back to WebCenter Content to surface content to the Portal.
