An Affordable Portal: Only $77 per user!

Need to build a portal, but find the price cost prohibitive?  WebSphere® Portal - Express for Windows 4.2 is built for small to medium sized businesses and at $77 per user -- priced more attractively than many competitors -- WebSphere Portal - Express is an excellent value, particularly because it comes embedded with the performance, standards-compliance, and reliability of the IBM WebSphere Application Server.

WebSphere® Portal - Express for Windows 4.2

• Combines features of the WebSphere Portal family with simplified installation and the option for per user or per processor price.
• Enables small business as well as departments within larger companies to more easily deploy sophisticated employee, business partner, and customer portals.

Benefits

• Increased employee productivity through easy access to critical business applications and information.
• Improved customer and business partner satisfaction and loyalty resulting from portals that are personalized.
• Reduced costs for building and maintaining first-class portals.
• Price: Low "per-user" pricing without requiring a minimum number of users, perfect for businesses on a budget.
• Cost of ownership: Runs on just one server, saving money for small businesses with limited hardware and small IT departments.
• Scalability / investment protection: The product supports progressively more users, and eventually allows customers to easily transition to more robust version of IBM's portal software and the same portlets created with the SMB offering, can run on the larger enterprise portal software.
• Value: Already built-in to the software are the features that mid market businesses truly need (such as collaboration apps, an application server, customization tools, security, etc).
• Ease of use: Can be deployed and modified with a few clicks using easy-to-understand icons. Simple enough for non-technical people to use without costly support from the IT department.
• Return on Investment: Portals generally pay for themselves within one year and they leverage the software that businesses already have.

WebSphere Portal Express is an extremely exciting product for the mid-market as it takes the full product and the features that are important to medium and even small sized enterprises and reduces the price to an incredibly low per user cost that is less than portal products with fewer features!
