Liferay Adds Turnkey Business Solutions
May 7, 2013
Liferay is a leading open source portal for the enterprise. They specialize in developing a marketplace where users can find open source solutions that work together and increase efficiency. Their latest addition is a partnership with TIBCO Software which will bring enterprise Connectivity Adapters (eC Adapters) to the portal in Q3 2013. Read more in the press release, “Liferay Announces Strategic Partnership with TIBCO.”
The article says:
“Following the availability of the Liferay eC Adapters, Liferay’s partner ecosystem will be able to leverage the same cost advantages for developing turnkey business solutions that integrate into backend systems using the ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ adapters and plugins. Each solution will contain a portal-based application that can connect through ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks to backend systems, providing a complete solution at a significant price advantage.”
Liferay does offer a unique solution in that enterprises can pick and choose, putting together a customized solution from options available via one marketplace and portal. However, some smaller enterprises may find it difficult or overwhelming to try to put together a customized enterprise solution. For those organizations, a smart, scalable out-of-the-box solution might be a better fit. LucidWorks offers an open source enterprise search solution that is ready to go quickly, but offers the scalability and customization options that will allow the solution to go further. Best of all, LucidWorks is built on the power of Apache Lucene and Solr, boasting one of the strongest developer communities in open source.
