WebFOCUS Open Portal Services for the Tibco Portal

WebFOCUS Open Portal Services for the Tibco Portal enables customers to add business intelligence content to their portal initiatives without any need for additional programming. Tibco Portal developers gain the ability to quickly and easily integrate any enterprise data – more than 300 sources across 35 platforms – and distribute it to employees, partners, and customers via a personalized portal page that incorporates users’ e-mails, sales leads, inventory reports, and market news.

Features

WebFOCUS Open Portal Services allows you to deliver robust business intelligence capabilities to Tibco Portal users 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 support internal and external security for delivering real-time business intelligence to authorized users within the Tibco 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 job function. Departmental security allows users to see just the reports 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 position within the organization; for example, the CEO or vice president who needs to access information across several departments in the enterprise.
