Merrill Lynch predicts that Enterprise Information portal market will be $15B by 2002 |
Portals are built (by us) as a customizable set of XML components ( e.g. Run a Particular Program or display thumbnail of the next web-page in lecture) |
SPW's can be thought of as customizable collaborative portals which define both synchronous and asynchronous shared components |
