Welcome to the the first beta release of IBM WebSphere Portal and IBM Web Content Manager.
Web portals allow partners, employees and customers to choose their user experience, with personalized applications based on role, context, actions, location, preferences and team collaboration needs. IBM Web Content Manager can help organizations increase the efficiency and accuracy of web site deployments by placing content creation in the hands of content experts – while IT can retain control. Through advanced personalization, IBM Web Content Manager can deliver the right information to the right audience exactly when they need it. These investments can generate revenue and efficiency gains for all size organizations through scalable, cost-effective web experience platforms that deliver improved customer experiences and operating use.
