Who Uses Project WebSynergy?

Project WebSynergy offers features for general users, system administrators, and application and portal developers.

• For General Users, WebSynergy makes it easy to communicate, collaborate, and customize the applications shared by your organization. Social networking components, like blogs, wikis, bookmarks, and messaging can be presented side-by-side with proprietary and third-party business and productivity applications. Different user communities can have their own portals, layouts, and customizations, and WebSynergy can be scaled down or up to suit organizations from the very small up to the enterprise level.

• For System Administrators, WebSynergy makes it easy to manage users, groups, communities, permissions, and highly specific levels of security. A browser-based GUI makes managing portals, portlets, plugins, and applications as simple as dragging and dropping. WebSynergy runs on top of the enterprise-class, open source GlassFish Application Server, which means that WebSynergy can be optimized according to your needs for performance, reliability, security, load balancing, and clustering, among other server characteristics.

• For Application and Portal Developers, WebSynergy makes it easy to develop portlets, portals, plugins, services, content management, workflows, and themes using your own tools, including NetBeans^TM, Eclipse, and Dreamweaver. WebSynergy is based on the open source OpenPortal and Liferay 5.2 code bases, which means what you develop in WebSynergy will be standards-based, portable, and maintainable. You can combine familiar Ajax, Jmaki, Ruby, PHP, and Java technologies and techniques with WebSynergy's powerful presentation capabilities to deliver the kind of rich, dynamic, interactive user experience previously available only in complex custom-built Web applications.
