ISMT E-200: Trends in Enterprise Information Systems
Problem Statement
GLOCO’s acquisition of three other companies has
resulted in an IT infrastructure that is maintaining
four independent systems. There are duplicate
applications and services. Employees currently must
access multiple portals to perform their work.
GLOCO needs to provide a single access point to
reduce costs and improve employee productivity. The
CIO requested an infrastructure improvement project
RFP to address this issue.

Portlet Producer Overview
The user requests a page from the Web browser by entering a URL in the browser’s address fieldThe browser transmits the request to the
application over HTTP. The application contacts the portlet producers which
provide the portlets that display on the requested page.
The producers make the necessary calls to their portlets so that the portlets generate content in the form of HTML or XML code.
The producers return the portlet content back to the application using their relevant protocols.
