WebSphere Portal 6.1 To Couple Web 2.0, Enterprise Technologies

The company has also started shipping Business Process Accelerator, a role-based systems for portal applications meant to improve workflow. In the education space, Cardiff University in Great Britain was one of the early adopters of Business Process Accelerator. Back in November the university announced it would use IBM's portal solutions to create collaborative learning environments for students and faculty.

Simon Bradford of Cardiff University said at the time, "We will use a combination of WebSphere Portal, WebSphere Process Server and Lotus Forms software to help streamline our business processes with electronic forms and role-based portal applications. This implementation will enable us to move towards streamlined administrative processes, either directly or through pre-reqs, we can now model, orchestrate, deploy and participate in the business processes. We have the flexibility of choice to plug-in process engines from WebSphere, FileNet or third parties to run these processes."
