Backbase Portal

Technology Overview

Backbase Portal delivers a next generation Portal & Mash-Up platform using Widgets and Web Oriented Architecture (WOA) Principles.

Backbase Portal works by wrapping existing web applications, content, and services in something called a widget. A widget is like a mini independent web application that runs in a portal page, and that can be personalized by the portal user. A widget can be personalized by a user by modifying its preferences, which are automatically saved on the portal server. Widgets are then aggregated in a single web page using rich internet application (RIA) technologies and displayed in the user's browser.
