CA announces general availability of Jasmineii Portal 3.0

Johannesburg, 06 Apr 2001

Computer Associates International (CA) has announced the general availability of Jasmineii Portal 3.0, its eBusiness information portal. The new release uniquely enables customers to meet global eBusiness objectives through dynamic personalization, double-byte and European language support, and streamlined administration.

Jasmineii Portal 3.0 uniquely supports individual users and groups. By simply dragging-and-dropping content, users and groups can specify the information most relevant and valuable to their daily functions, and personalize their workspaces. Dynamic resizing automatically displays content in the most readable format. In addition, Jasmineii Portal 3.0 supports multiple personalized workplaces, which enable each user to support multiple or changing roles.

"In today`s competitive environments, organizations are trying to do more with less by asking employees to juggle multiple jobs," said Carl Hartman, vice president, marketing, CA. "The Jasmineii Portal 3.0 is the first secure and manageable enterprise information portal that can be uniquely personalized to meet the needs of knowledge workers."

Jasmineii Portal 3.0 now supports localized access, presentation and search capabilities in nine languages: English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, and Asian "double-byte" languages - Japanese, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, and Korean. CA`s support for these languages in Jasmineii Portal 3.0 underscores the company`s unmatched commitment to global deployment of eBusiness technologies.

"The overwhelming amount of information that is available to people in the so-called `information age` requires a solution that can present the salient facts in an easily accessible manner. This is where Jasmineii excels," says Raoul Hunter, manager: new business development at Computer Associates Africa.

For IT administrators, Jasmineii Portal 3.0 features streamlined, centralized management and easy integration with a full range existing corporate information systems. A Web interface enables Jasmineii Portal 3.0 to be deployed to users with virtually "zero administration" across an unlimited number of desktops and without the need for browser-specific plug-ins or applets. Administrators can also create visual templates for specific groups of users. Baseline content can also be developed and deployed in support of specific B2B, B2C or B2E requirements.

Centralized security controls provide Jasmineii Portal 3.0 with the convenience of single sign-on while ensuring that access to sensitive information is restricted to appropriate users. Business partners, customers and employees can be confident that their information remains confidential.

In conjunction with this announcement, CA`s field services organization is introducing JetStart for Portal, a packaged service that leverages CA`s consulting expertise and best practice portal methodology for quick and effective deployment of enterprise information portals. Jasmineii Portal 3.0 supports Windows and UNIX platforms, it is available under CA`s new simplified licensing model.
