I and a few other folks from Phurnace attended the Portal Excellence Conference in San Diego this week. Some quick thoughts from the show:
- Insurance and Banking seemed to be the biggest verticals represented at the show.
- There were quite a few folks there that weren’t current Portal customers, but were considering migrating from another platform to WebSphere Portal. The most common reason they gave was nervousness about all the recent consolidation in the Portal space (i.e., Oracle acquiring BEA, OpenText acquiring Vignette, etc.)
- More talk about WCM (IBM Web Content Management) than in prior years. WCM seems to be catching on with the WAS Portal customer space.
- IBM is an excellent host at these events. Thanks guys! We had a good time.
