Portlet Development Services

Portals give institutions accessibility to the online applications and personalized information users demand, regardless of how many different systems and processes an institution may have. In accommodating the aggregation and display of diverse content, applications, and services, an enterprise portal provides a framework that integrates several template component types. One of the more complex component type is the portlet which functions as a pluggable user interface component providing a presentation layer in the portal for information systems. Unicon is skilled at developing JSR 168 or JSR 286 standards-compliant portlets or platform-specific portlets and offers full life-cycle portlet development services. With complete development from ideation to implementation and support, Unicon starts with understanding a client’s needs and partnering with them to agree on a comprehensive strategy. Once the requirements for developing the portlets are indicated, Unicon’s experienced team uses best practices combined with agile methods to enable the rapid delivery of high-quality portlets.
