With RedDot Web Solutions, organizations can further enrich the user experience by expanding the portal’s use to a one-stop, aggregated online resource for documents, information and other forms of unstructured content that inform their users of essential aspects of the business.  

In many organizations today, the SAP NetWeaver® platform is a major element in providing a secure, single point of access to business information for all knowledge workers throughout an organization.  These portals unify the user experience amongst all integrated applications by providing permission-based access enhanced with single sign-on. 

RedDot Web Solutions complement the content management capabilities of the SAP NetWeaver Portal, helping organizations to easily administer and deliver personalized content within the portal environment. The Open Text solution helps content owners apply business rules to their content, further allowing them to choose their audience and helping to ensure that the right person gets the right content at the right time.  Organizations around the world are leveraging RedDot Web Solutions to enhance their portal environments in key ways:

• iView for easy creation of personalized portal pages
• Integration TREX – a structured and unstructured data processing component of SAP NetWeaver – provides secure and personalized federated search for all portal and Web content
• Portal Navigation Manager offers easy management of the entire navigation structure of SAP NetWeaver Portal, allowing synchronization of content across multiple Web properties
