I was chatting with my associate the other day, Shayne Tanner @ Permeance Technologies, about what they are up to. Permeance specialises in open source software for corporates, government and NGO’s. One of their key products, Liferay, provides an enterprise portal. This is a really interesting and smart product. In essence, it allows complicated legacy systems to be connected together to provide a common interface through a portal. This is something that the corporates have had for years. The opportunity for organisations like schools, churches, larger nationwide community groups provided by Liferay through this enterprise portal is potentially awesome.
In our little world we run some basic applications which don’t really talk to each other. If we could link Feng Office (our project management system) to our “Road Map” database through a common portal …wow! Check our Permeance’s site if this is of interest.
