Oracle WebCenter is the set of components that you use to create social applications, enterprise portals, collaborative communities, composite applications, and Internet/intranet Web sites.
Oracle WebCenter Framework augments the JSF environment
with additional components, integration, and runtime
options by integrating capabilities that are historically
included in portal products directly into the JSF
environment.
Oracle WebCenter Spaces is an out-of-the-box application
that brings you the latest technology in terms of
social networking, communication, collaboration, and
personal productivity with no development effort.
WebCenter Services provide a variety of Web 2.0 content
management, search, collaboration, and communication
services to extend the functionality of your applications
and enrich the end user experience.
Your Personal Space: Stay Informed with Business Role Pages
In
addition to personal pages, your personal space displays business role
pages, which are specifically targeted to your professional role in
the organization. The Oracle WebCenter Spaces administrator can create a
set of business role pages for each line of business, and push those pages
to all the users assigned a specific role, saving the administrator the
time and effort of granting page access privileges to each user individually.
Information that is timely and relevant to a specific business role can
be provided instantly, without the noise of irrelevant information from
other lines of business. When end users log in, they immediately see business
role pages assigned to them in their personal space. In contrast, access
to personal pages is provided through the Manage Pages dialog box.
For example, an administrator might create a New Hires business role page,
give the Newbie role view access, and then assign everyone who joins the
company the Newbie role for a period of six months. Similarly, sales people
logging in to their personal spaces will see the Sales business role page,
engineers will see the Engineering business role page, and so on. In this
way, intranet portal pages can easily be pushed to users that need this
specific information to stay on top of key updates for their area of the
business.
