Portalware allows organizations to build customized portals to aggregate, categorize and deliver content for their customers. Portalware customers now have an easy-to-use content management tool, and their customers have a more elegant way to access and search for information according to their interests and needs.

Portalware is based on the idea that many organizations recognize the Internet as a highly efficient content delivery mechanism, but have been limited by the high degree of technical skill required to deploy large content populations and the graphical limitations of HTML. Glyphica coined the term Portalware to represent a class of products that provide automated and elegant document categorization and Web delivery to businesses and organizations while reducing their programming, speed, and cost burdens.

The Portalware product suite includes CollectionPortal and InfoPortal:

CollectionPortal provides customers with the following benefits:

• Simple Web deployment of critical documents through automatic `collection views,` eliminating the need to link documents together

• Powerful search and navigation tools for information seekers, including a search engine that sifts through full text and metadata and highlights search hits in PDF and HTML files

• Precise visual integrity of the content, including fonts, images and artwork, by leveraging the capability of PDF technology

• Document attributes which can be dynamically extended or updated

• Quick and easy deployment that does not require an in-depth knowledge of programming to administer or manage the system

• Browser client for all system users and visitors

  InfoPortal includes key functionality for these markets:

• InfoPortal automatically converts documents from any file format (including business software applications like Microsoft Office) to PDF, and then uploads and indexes them for immediate accessibility

• Paper documents can be scanned, automatically converted to PDF and become fully searchable with dynamic metadata and contextual links

• PortalFeet allows users to set search agents and automatic notification based on text content or metadata

• Workflow and agent technologies allow organizations to establish review and approval processes and notify constituencies of the availability of new information

• Group, user, and IP address security features limit access

• InfoPortal includes version control for managing evolving documents
