Covisint Collaboration Portal Securely Takes Advantage of New Web 2.0
Services, Enabling Enterprise Innovation Globally
TRAVERSE CITY, Mich., Aug. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Compuware
Corporation (Nasdaq: CPWR) today, at Management Briefing Seminar, announced
Covisint Collaboration Portal. This on-demand platform, available
immediately, is a highly secure, hosted service built for business users
who require real-time information and application sharing. Covisint
Collaboration Portal is an enhancement to the existing Covisint portal used
by more than 250,000 subscribers at 30,000 companies in 86 countries.
Fortune 500 companies consistently struggle with the high costs of
identity management, system interoperability and scalability for business
communities. To securely interoperate, today's organizations demand global
architectures, multi-lingual support and the ability to rapidly introduce
new business processes.
Covisint Collaboration Portal is a secure, cost-effective and flexible
solution that solves the business problems enterprises face arising from
global interoperability challenges. It takes full advantage of Web 2.0
services and delivers a secure enterprise portal platform and workspace
that can be personalized by communities of users across multiple
organizations.
"Personalization -- the process of tailoring content to an individual's
characteristics or preferences -- is a critical requirement of enterprise
portals," stated Gene Phifer, Gartner Vice President and Distinguished
Analyst in the May 2006 Gartner research report titled Portals Need to Move
Beyond Role-level Personalization. "The more personal and relevant an
enterprise can make a portal's content to a specific user, the more
valuable that user will find the portal. In an ideal situation, an
enterprise portal analyzes a variety of user- and session-based attributes
to deliver highly personal and relevant views to consumers."
Covisint Collaboration Portal offers enterprises user access controls
and role-based features, dynamic drag-and-drop portlets, Google Gadgets,
web services, mash-ups and RSS feeds, among other advances. It also
delivers group management, directed communications, a user directory,
Secure File Exchange, TeamRoom and other features that securely enable
communities of users to work together efficiently and effectively.
"Our customers have highly targeted and specialized needs as they share
applications and information globally," said Bob Paul, President and COO of
Compuware Covisint. "Covisint Collaboration Portal -- the next-generation,
industry-hardened platform -- will deliver on those needs. It is a
visionary offering with the security that businesses need and the
functionality that will drive enterprise productivity and profitability."
