Portal or WebCenter?

Jun 5th 2008vesterliConferences & Oracle Portal & Oracle WebCenter

Only just done reviewing papers for one conference (ODTUG Kaleidoscope, coming this month), and already it’s time to reviews abstracts for the next conference (UKOUG Conference, in December).

One interesting thing I spotted in the abstracts was the difference between Oracle Portal and Oracle Webcenter:

  • There are five abstracts on Oracle Portal from customers and partners, but none from Oracle
  • There are no abstracts on Oracle WebCenter from customers or partners, but two from Oracle

That supports my own gut feeling that WebCenter is still Oracle’s “next great thing,” but isn’t really being used in real life yet. Maybe that’ll change once we get WebCenter 11g - but the very high license fee is definitely holding the adoption of WebCenter back. If you want an affordable WebCenter that’s not bundled with ECM, SES, etc., please register at Oracle Mix and vote for my idea Please make a WebCenter Standard Edition product.
