Why the Sun Portal? The project team and Steering Committee selected the Sun portal after issuing a comprehensive Request For Proposals and evaluating seven highly competitive solutions. The evaluation was focused on achieving the best value combination for the University and the Sun proposal gave us this by providing:
Rich functionality with many ‘out-of-the-box’ portlets
An open source solution fully compliant with open standards
An excellent project team and project plan that will get the Portal in place the soonest
A very low life-cycle cost and the most economical to scale up as demand increases
A leading edge Identity Management Solution included (important to achieving broad single sign-on)
A fully featured content management system that will support the web site and the Portal
A solid standard for integrating with existing systems
An excellent development environment that will improve our efficiency in delivering solutions.
