This alliance and the acquisition are key to divine’s plan to become the premier enterprise portal solutions provider.
As part of the alliance, divine will employ CA’s Jasmine ii Portal technology with the technology it acquired today from SageMaker, to create a complete enterprise portal solution. The divine portal solution will also incorporate collaboration and knowledge management capabilities from divine’s other companies, creating a comprehensive solution that will integrate mission-critical external applications, internal eBusiness applications, internal and external industry-specific information, real-time news and everyday applications such as eMail and calendars. The combined technologies will deliver an enterprise information portal with unprecedented flexibility and power.
Enterprise information portals (EIPs) enable companies to efficiently manage externally and internally produced business applications and information. By integrating CA’s Jasmine ii Portal technology with SageMaker’s and divine’s other companies’ offerings, divine will be uniquely positioned to capitalize on SageMaker’s relationships with content providers and with its existing applications to offer the most complete and compelling portal applications to a variety of vertical audiences.
We are seeing tremendous traction in the portal space and anticipate extraordinary growth in this area as companies realize the top and bottom line benefits of portals in a knowledge-centric work environment, said Yogesh Gupta, CA senior vice president and chief technology officer. We are delighted that divine has chosen Jasmine ii Portal as a key component of its portal solutions.
This partnership with CA, combined with the technology of SageMaker and of more than a dozen of divine’s associated companies, will enable divine to offer an enterprise information portal with unprecedented functionality, said Paul Humenansky, divine President and Chief Operating Officer. We are looking forward to identifying further opportunities to work with CA as divine pursues its enterprise portal strategy.
CA and divine will cooperate on technology development, support and sales to jointly market divine’s portal solutions. The two companies are in discussions to extend the agreement to encompass additional technologies.
Jasmine II Portal is the industry’s most powerful and comprehensive solution for delivering personalized information from diverse sources in visually compelling formats via the Web. It enables IT organizations to rapidly develop and deploy secure Web portals that provide external and/or internal constituencies with all the information needed to make decisions, collaborate across organizational boundaries and accelerate business processes.
By leveraging CA’s patented Neugents II technology, Jasmine II Portal is also the only portal that can deliver dynamic personalization based on the usage patterns of individuals or groups. This maximizes the business value of portals by ensuring that end users receive the fastest possible access to the exact information they require. Neugents II technology can also be used to push relevant information to specific users of the Jasmine II Portal as appropriate, based on clickstream analysis and user profiling.
