Global Portal Tools Suite (GPortal)
   
  As businesses establish their online presence, efficient channels of communications between the Web Audience and the business is key to a successful online presence. Effective communications with different web-constituents of the different online properties—Internet portals, intranets, extranets, partner extranets and other Web-based applications require rich customized internet-based applications.

SurroundApps provides a rich toolset that allows businesses be responsive to market needs and quickly build rich web-functionality to each of their core audiences. The lightweight framework of the Global Portal Tools Suite (GPortal) provides rich online functionality. GPortal not only includes Portal Components but also infrastructure tools for efficient, consolidated management of disparate portals. Built for easy customization, all the components fit in with the centralized single sign-on capabilities of GPortal, and can be co-branded according to the business needs.

Portal Components


GCalendar
   

GCalendar is a distributed calendar, where businesses can share their events with their web-audiences. With a flexible infrastructure, this also allows end-users to maintain their own calendars and share the events on the calendars with different groups of people or organizations.


GForum
   
GForum is a rich online Forum, which allows private or public moderated or unmoderated forums. The security and access-level here is integrated with the GPortal single sign-on infrastructure. It allows integrated web-based or email-based discussion capabilities offering a great archive for email-lists.
   

GNews
   
Any portal usually includes a 'What's New' or news component. GNews offers this capability with a rich RSS and XML-based integration framework. This allows easy updates of news content through an intuitive interface.
   

GKnowledge
   
GKnowledge is a corporate knowledge-management product that allows companies to capture some of the knowledge that is captured inside the company over the course of time. It can also be a valuable marketing tool, by selectively allowing some knowledge bits to be shared widely, and to prove the knowledge depth of the resources in the company. Examples of usage of GKnowledge can be seen in the Resources section of the SurroundApps website.
   

GMatch
   
When a company wants to offer up web-applications that require matching of constrained resources to a large set of applicants requiring those resources, then some sort of matching application is required. For example, to match a limited number of promotional offers to a large number of applicants, the promoters have to use some sort of matching algorithm. Similarly in one of SurroundApps non-profit clients, mentors need to be matched with a large group of people seeking mentorship. SurroundApps GMatch engine eases the development of such functionality in GPortal.
   

GMessenger
   
SurroundApps has built its own .NET-based Instant Messenger Client and Server system, that can be run on a corporate intranet. A key feature of this client is an intuitive multi-lingual interface.
   


Infrastructure Components


GConf

   

For any web application, there are certain configuration parameters that need to be set for ongoing maintenance and tuing. The GConf tool allows editing of hierarchical configuration files and XML files in an easy-to-use intuitive manner.

   


GDocs


   

For any Web Application, Help Document Generation and maintenance is made easy through the GDocs component. It allows simultaneous Help Doc maintenance in HTML and PDF formats.

   


GTest


   
Testing is key to ensure the quality of any web-application in a Portal. SurroundApps GTest products allow distributed Load-Testing and Regression Testing tool to ensure high-quality of developed web applications.
   

GBackup
   
GBackup backs up your web-based assets seamlessly so that you don’t have to worry about machine outages at your low-end service provider. For internet hosted applications, GBackup reduces the risk of hosting service providers' system crashes and data losses. It does this by allowing administrators of these applications to take local backups of both the code and the data.
