Netscape Custom Netcenter enables an enterprise to establish a proprietary corporate portal that personalizes user access and centralizes information and services for its employees and partners.

iPlanet Webtop is an open standards, Internet-based remote access solution that allows authorized access to resources behind the firewall. It allows an enterprise to rapidly--and inexpensively--deploy and manage a remote access solution. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)-based security features help protect information and control access. Using a Java-based web browser, authorized mobile and remote             users can log on from any system, anywhere, and quickly access business-critical information, services, and applications.

Rapid, cost-effective deployment
As an Internet-based solution, iPlanet Webtop does not require client-side software installation, management, or configuration. An Internet-based connection — as opposed to VPNs or private dial-up lines — means investments in dedicated modems and remote access servers, WATS (800 number toll-free) calls, and related management and user support costs can be minimized, lowering the cost of remote access.

At the conference, best techniques, strategies and tools needed to take advantage of the Internet will be discussed. Attending the conference series will be like-minded company decision-makers with whom you can also share and develop your business ideas.

At the briefing, find out how iPlanet solutions helps you:
 

• build and deploy scalable, reliable, and secure E-Commerce applications
• realize cost savings that come with a complete E-Commerce system
• develop more committed relationships with online customers and partners
