Webinar: Effectively Manage and Maintain SharePoint Content with Oracle WebCenter

January 30, 2012

Join Oracle and Fishbowl Solutions on Tuesday, January 31st as we discuss common  issues  organizations have with SharePoint despite its ease-of-use and overall popularity. Discussion will focus on how Fishbowl’s SharePoint Connector bridges content and data from SharePoint to Oracle WebCenter Content. This enables organizations to use both systems and fully exploit the benefits of each, harmonizing user needs for easy and intuitive collaboration with best-in-class content management and industry leading infrastructure.

This webinar will also highlight Fishbowl’s SharePoint Connector for Oracle WebCenter Content use cases and how this transparent integration is easily implemented. Attendees will see firsthand the process of adding, editing, or saving content in SharePoint and accessing that same content in WebCenter.

What attendees will learn:

  • Explore and discuss  issues  organizations have experienced with SharePoint. These  include site governance, limited content lifecycle capabilities (records management is weak), and the inability to provide a single source of truth to enterprise content.
  • Why balancing the wants of users for an easy and intuitive collaboration system with IT’s need to maintain security, governance and control is important if organizations want to further leverage their technology investments, lower costs, and scale for growth.
  • Fishbowl Solutions’ objectives in developing the SharePoint Connector for Oracle WebCenter Content and how these objectives have translated into a transparent integration that harmonizes the wants of SharePoint users with the needs of IT.

Lessons Learned from Oracle WebCenter Sites Training

January 18, 2012

We recently participated in Oracle WebCenter Sites training, provided for partners by the Oracle Fusion Middleware Architecture Team (“A-Team”). Oracle offered insight into architecting and implementing the WebCenter Sites Solution, and committed to assisting partners like Fishbowl through initial client implementations.

The promise of WebCenter Sites (formerly FatWire) is a very high-performance website delivery platform along with a business-focused WYSIWYG Web Content Management (WCM) solution. The main benefit of Sites is high-performance site delivery. High-performance, dynamic content sites require a caching layer between visitors and the content management system. With some solutions, this requires (potentially) endless meetings to figure out how to balance business needs for content/publishing timeliness against website and proxy limitations and finessing time-to-live settings on the cache server(s). However, the WebCenter Sites’ Content Server can communicate with tightly-coupled caching server(s) when any content asset has been updated and the caching server retrieves the updates. This dynamic “edge caching” model results in highly-efficient caching and allows for lower hardware costs compared to less-aware caching models.

Website types that are the best fit for WebCenter Sites include consumer websites where page-response time is a premium. Consumers won’t wait for your site to download when the competition’s site is responding more quickly. Site types include brochureware sites; product and services marketing websites; news/media websites; eCommerce sites (Sites is frequently used as the product catalog “behind” the shopping cart) and financial services sites. This technology works best when implemented for clients who can express the financial value of site traffic and performance and are willing to invest in improving site response times and the content editor experience.

If none of the use cases we’ve described apply to your website needs, then Oracle WebCenter Sites may not be the right technology for your environment. Each use case is different, and realistic implementation timeframes exceed three months with significant investment required. We have other tools available to meet the range of website needs, including portal and WCM tools for intranet, extranet and public-facing websites all leveraging the Oracle WebCenter platform. Contact us for more information on which strategy is right for you.
