Comments on: Et Tu Plumtree and end of pure play portal vendors http://pnarula.com/200509/et-tu-plumtree-and-end-of-pure-play-portal-vendors/ Intense activity - in the midst of eternal calmness Sat, 11 Oct 2008 14:02:59 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: Brian Kim http://pnarula.com/200509/et-tu-plumtree-and-end-of-pure-play-portal-vendors/#comment-3982 Brian Kim Fri, 05 May 2006 16:45:25 +0000 http://www.pnarula.com/archives/2005/09/05/et-tu-plumtree-and-end-of-pure-play-portal-vendors/#comment-3982 It's a little disappointing that with the purchase of Plumtree, people might mark it to be the end of pure play portal vendors. However, this really isn't the case. If you look at the open source industry, there are still a myriad of pure portal vendors - not just including us, Liferay, but also others such as Exo. Open source portal companies that offer professional services have been around for years and most likely will be especially as the industry turns more towards the open souce trend.

It is an open and interactive community where anyone can write SAP related blogs, articles, etc. In fact we are shortly introducing Moblogs also. You can check the announcement out at the top in the updates section. Hope this will enrich the SAP world further! Thanks, Desh Hi Pankaj:
