Join us for Friday's session as we explore Mobile Access, Offline Portals and Commerce and discuss the steps and resources you would need to add these features to your portal.

Future Directions: You don't need a crystal ball to see the future of portals. Still in its infancy, mobile access and offline portals will no doubt play important roles in growing a viable business. Diversity of mobile devices continues to increase, as do their capabilities. With varying markup languages and browsers, providing a high-quality user experience becomes increasingly dependent on device-aware tooling and runtime device recognition that can optimize delivery based on device-specific capabilities. Taking your portal mobile or offline can greatly increase productivity and your revenue. Did someone mention revenue? Whether you're a B2B or B2C, chances are your portal can benefit from adding a commerce solution which will seamlessly integrate and manage all aspects of campaigns and promotions, discounts, ordering and fulfillment processing – all working together to drive revenue.
