Computer Associates unveils Jasmineii Portal

Computer Associates International Inc. (CA) has announced the release of Jasmineii Portal, the industry`s most powerful and comprehensive solution for delivering personalized information from diverse sources in visually compelling formats via the Web. With Jasmineii Portal, IT organizations can 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.

Jasmineii Portal provides access to the entire range of content available across corporate networks and the Internet - including such essential resources as Web pages, real-time data feeds, Microsoft Office and Excel documents, and email, along with corporate applications and databases.

Raoul Hunter, manager: new business development at Computer Associates Africa reveals that Jasmineii Portal also leverages CA`s innovative data visualization technologies. "This enables developers to create highly graphical and intuitive presentations of complex data sets for a wide range of audiences. Extensive, easy-to-use search capabilities further enable users at all Web-literacy levels to quickly pinpoint and act upon the information they need," he declares.

By leveraging CA`s patented Neugentsii technology, Jasmineii 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, something crucial to the success of online business," notes Hunter. He says Neugentsii technology can also be used to "push" relevant information to specific users of the Jasmineii Portal as appropriate, based on clickstream analysis and user profiling.

Jasmineii Portal utilises CA`s proven Jasmineii technology for accessing diverse data sources across multiple platforms, operating systems and applications. It also incorporates the EUREKA:Portal technology acquired from Sterling Software, Inc.

"Information glut has become a major problem for everyone who uses the Web," says Yogesh Gupta, CA, chief technology officer.

As a 100% Java application, Jasmineii Portal can support a full range of desktops and mobile, handheld devices equipped with Java.
