Identified Content Sources and Integration Concept

 

Description

 

The output describes the content sources and applications and their technical integration into the portal.

Besides a short functional description of the respective content source and basic attributes like implemented release level and responsible persons, the output details the technical integration of the content sources and applications into the portal. This could include:

 

·         level of technical integration (presentation layer integration, application layer integration via API, unifier)

·         required connectors

·         single sign on solution

 

The level of technical integration could be dependent on customer expectations concerning look and feel and the technical capabilities of the respective content source or application.

The integration concept should also descripe the required preparations in the content source systems. This could include

 

·         installation of plug in’s or notes

·         configuration settings

·         release uprading

·         implementing web enabling technologies

 

Process

 

The content sources and applications could be derived from the description of the actual processes and the planned portal content.

 

Additional Information

 

This document hast to be completed by the technical content source information of the technical and integration design document.

 

Please note, that the technical integration concept is strongly related with the to be defined portal applications and that there is no clear sequence in defining these outputs. The achievable integration level might limit the possible features and capabilities of the portal applications. On the other hand, specific portal applications might require specific technical integration levels.
