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.
