Oracle Portal and Oracle WebCenter: specific uses for specific requirements
There's been quite a bit of FUD passed out by some competitors that know very little about Oracle's strategic directions and the futures of these two very strong products. But if you think about it, you'd want to spread these rumors as a means to stay competitive.
To be extremely clear, there is a bright future for both products. Oracle Portal (with 10.1.4) had a significant upgrade and there are similarly significant upgrades planned for the 11g release as well. Oracle WebCenter has shown strong customer interest over the past few months. And there are a huge set of new services to foster Social Networks and enable users to shape information into the context of their business tasks. Each of these services have been constructured to be easily consumed in Oracle Portal. We don't mean a future version of Oracle Portal, we mean 10.1.4 today.
Over the next few weeks, we'll keep updating this blog to provide more details on which product to choose and discuss some of the exciting new features coming for both products.
So be careful what you read, especially if you get it from a company that competes with Oracle!
