Bowstreet Launches Portal-Based Dashboards
Bowstreet on Monday will introduce two portal-based dashboard offerings for its Corporate Performance Suite, which aggregates
data from multiple back-end systems into a consolidated view. The Sales and Executive Dashboards provide data filters, alters,
data exporting, and browser-based configuration wizards that let users customize data display. The dashboards offer visibility
into business metrics and performance indicators, and can be tailored to an individual’s job function. Built-in collaboration
tools such as IM and e-mail let users react quickly to business events. The dashboards are JSR168-compatible and integrate
with IBM WebSphere Portal.

IBM Extends Identity Manager
IBM last week rolled out an upgrade to its Tivoli Federated Identity Manager. The product helps simplify user registration
and sign-on for both internal and external services, and is capable of linking employees and customers to third-party organizations
without needing to create another ID and password or to re-authenticate. Other new features include the ability to integrate
scattered business silos that lack a common security infrastructure, improved compliance and corporate governance, and an
enhanced consolidation of customer care systems, which allow for a holistic view of users’ customers across business silos.
