Key features

Versatile framework
IBM^® WebSphere^® Portal Express provides users a consistent view of portal applications and allows users to define specific sets of applications that are presented in a single context. Depending on the requesting device, the rendering of this application set has to vary to fulfill the requirements of the device.
Customization
Customizing the user's experience is one of the main goals of IBM WebSphere Portal Express. User and administrative portlets are provided for customizing content and the look and layout of pages.
Managing content
Use IBM Lotus Web Content Management™, Document Manager and Portal Personalization to create and manage content for your Portal or Web site. You use these applications separately, or together as an integrated content solution for your portal or Web site.
Portlets
Portlets are a central part of IBM WebSphere Portal Express. Portlets are small applications that are independently developed, deployed, managed, and displayed. Administrators and users compose personalized pages by choosing and arranging portlets, resulting in customized Web pages.
Application integration
A portal provides access to content, data, and services that are located throughout the enterprise. These services include predefined connectors and portlets, and tools for creating additional connectors and portlets.
