IBM Ranked #1 in Web Portal Software Market Share
IBM today announced that IT analyst firm Gartner, Inc., has ranked IBM as the worldwide market share leader in the Portal Products and User Interaction Tools enterprise software segment. The ranking was based on total worldwide software revenue for 2008
What are portals?
Web portals allow people to interact with other people, applications, processes, documents and other content in a personalised and role-based fashion. In a day and age when information overload has become commonplace, portals allow context-relevant resources to be presented via common Web browsers, placing what you need to complete the job at hand at you fingertips, regardless of where you are.
Why a portal might be right for your organisation
Many IT solutions provide needed functionality, but require you to learn a new way to work. Portals allow you to customise your work environment to your own needs, present resources in a consistent fashion, and can provide a personalised experience based upon your previous preferences or specific role within an organisation.
In addition, portals can help organisations address the challenges inherent with 'build your own' Web solutions, such as:
- Finding it difficult to keep up with the pace of evolution and the demand of user communities
- Needing to reduce application development resources and time to market
- Wanting to optimise the allocation of scarce IT resources, skills and budgets
Why IBM?
In addition to leading the enterprise portal market for more than five consecutive years, IBM portals have been shown to deliver significant advantages over other 'build your own' solutions(1), including:
- A 29% lower 5-Year TCO on average
- 38% lower labor costs to deploy portals and applications
- $4.80 in IT labor avoidance on average for every $1 spent
- Initial portal deployments that were 45% faster to market
- Portal applications developed that had a 78% faster time to market
- A 28% increase in server and application availability
