Leading Analyst Firm Lists BackWeb Technologies as a Selected
Vendor for Offline Portals
New Research Report Highlights Increasing Benefits of Offline Access in
Enterprise Portal Deployments
SAN JOSE, Calif., June 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- BackWeb Technologies Ltd.
(NASDAQ:BWEB) today announced that Gartner has recognized offline access as an
increasingly important component of portal deployments and selected BackWeb as
a vendor that delivers offline access to portals. The recognition of BackWeb
as a selected vendor for offline portal access was part of Gartner's recently
published "Hype Cycle for the Portal Ecosystem, 2004" report.
In its segment on offline portals, the report discusses the importance of
allowing portals to work in a disconnected mode while delivering the same
personalization and user experience as when connected.
Gartner has previously commented on offline support in a report entitled
"Future Portal Clients Will Be Multichannel, Offline and Rich." The report
states: "Offline support is a feature rarely found in portals. Unfortunately
for mobile workers, the lack of offline support means they have to maintain
traditional sources of information and applications for whenever they are
disconnected from the network, and from their portal. Due to poor network
availability and multiple standards around the world, many workers are
frequently disconnected from their networks, and from their portals. The need
for offline support is apparent."
"The innovative companies that are covered in this report are among the market
leaders in the enterprise portal industry," said Erez Lorber, CEO of BackWeb.
"BackWeb offers a unique solution that is designed to extend the reach of
corporate portals to mobile sales and field force employees with the goal of
streamlining business activities, increasing revenues, and improving customer
satisfaction. We are pleased that an influential research firm has recognized
BackWeb as a premier vendor of offline solutions in the portal market."
