by Dave Jacob, WebSphere Practice Area Manager --

Sunday was spent renewing old acquaintances from the business partner community and IBM. Its amazing to see how much the portal space has matured in the year since the last conference. We'll be focusing this year on how to get the maximum value out of our clients portal investment and extending the portal offering to mobile devices in a coherent way. Lotus forms has also taken off as a way for clients to reduce paper - a never ending task.

We will be presenting this year on what we have learned about Portlet Factory with Spoon's updated presentation on Tuesday morning. We'll also be demoing advances in dashboard architecture including zoom, fly-over and drill-down capabilities and a new set of dashboard builders.

Much of our effort this year has been about improving a user's ability to find specific information on a client's web site thru analysis of the site from the user's perspective and incorporating these search personas with various search engines to get the client to the right information.
