WebFOCUS Open Portal Services for the Sun ONE Portal

WebFOCUS Open Portal Services for the Sun ONE Portal enables customers to add business intelligence content to their portal initiatives without any need for additional programming.

Features

Using WebFOCUS Open Portal Services, you can deliver business intelligence capabilities to Sun ONE Portal users quickly and easily by:

• Personalizing the way users view, store, and retrieve business intelligence content for optimum job efficiency
• Deciding what content users will have appear in each content window, how that content is displayed, and how it’s organized – even combining graphics and reports on the same page
• Managing documents for users and enabling them to perform content searches
• Extending additional privileges to users, allowing them to perform all types of reporting and queries, including ad hoc, OLAP, scheduling, and mobile
• Giving users the ability to select a report, run it, and direct the output
• Letting users work in a secure, role-based, managed environment

Security

WebFOCUS Open Portal Services supports internal and external security for delivering real-time business intelligence reports to authorized users within the Sun ONE Portal environment. Administrators can structure and assign reports to individuals based upon the department they work in and can assign even greater levels of security by granting access to reports based upon their role in the organization. Departmental security allows users to see reports only for the department to which they have access, such as accounting, finance, or sales. Role-based security allows individuals to view reports based upon their particular role within the organization; for example, the CEO or vice president who needs to access information across various departments throughout the enterprise.
