FatWire Software has introduced a new dynamic content management (dCM) integration kit with six free dCM portlets for IBM’s WebSphere Portal. FatWire says the portlets allow users to easily create and modify both structured and unstructured content and publish it to the WebSphere Portal. The integration kit provides native J2EE integration between FatWire's dynamic content management software, UpdateEngine, and IBM's Web Sphere Portal v4.1.

FatWire's six new dCM content-rich display portlets are:

• User display—for fast mapping for portal users to the dCM software;

• Launch Pad—for quick access to the full UpdateEngine interface for more rigorous CM functionality;

• News—for personalized display of structured content items such as news articles;

• Job Listing—for fast content edits to job listings that open to complete descriptions;

• Document—for display of unstructured content such as MS Office or PDF files, with appropriate metadata and commentary; and

• Advertisement—to display advertisements including text and graphics.
