What is Project WebSynergy?

Project WebSynergy is Sun's next-generation Web 2.0 application aggregation and presentation platform. It is a suite of integrated software products that enables businesses large and small to pull together applications and content from a variety of Web-based and internal sources and present them as a unified, customizable portal on Web browsers, kiosks, and mobile devices. WebSynergy makes it easier for users to find and use the tools and information they need when they need them.

Project WebSynergy is a collaborative effort between Sun Microsystem's Portal Server team, the Liferay Community, and the OpenPortal community. WebSynergy integrates technologies from these three products to enable enterprise-class portals that are easy to use for end users, system administrators, and developers alike.
