| Softwerc introduces portal development via point-and-click |
 |
In October, Chicago-based Softwerc announced its URL Generator, a point-and-click portlet development tool that enables developers to customize executive dashboards, trading desktops and other enterprise portals without custom programming. The software captures any web-based content and turns it into a URL that can be incorporated into any new or existing portal, reducing the time and expense of portal creation.
The software utilizes patent-pending “digital scissors” technology that allows developers to clip select portions of any web-based data source, including individual panes, links and forms, for repurposing inside third party or homegrown portals.
One of the demos on Softwerc’s site, softwerc.com, shows how the URL Generator can point to a section on Yahoo! and then snag the section for use in Softwerc’s Werclets platform. The software has the ability to create portlets from any kind of web content, including HTML, JavaScript, ActiveX, Flash and web-enabled internal corporate systems such as ERP applications, utilizing existing metadata to avoid recoding.
