The Sun Java System Collaborative Business Platform is designed to help organizations aggregate, customize, and securely deliver valuable communications and collaborative services to diverse communities of users -- employees, partners, customers, students, faculty, and citizens. The core of this collaboration solution includes services such as e-mail, calendaring and group scheduling, instant messaging, conferences, polls, discussions, file and applications sharing, and audio and video conferences, as well as content and knowledge sharing tools such as content management and search. These services, available through Sun Java System products and partner offerings, can be delivered within the context of the user's business environment in any type of organization -- government agencies, educational institutions, and enterprises.
The Sun Java System Collaborative Business Platform enables the delivery of this rich set of collaborative services in a flexible, scalable, cost-effective, and secure environment. Delivery of services and access to data via an identity-enabled portal can facilitate user management, allow differentiated access policy, and provide single sign-on across services. Secure remote access and wireless capabilities enable users to access their colleagues, customers, or partners anywhere, at any time, from any device. Integration of and easy access to these collaborative services can improve business practices, enhance employee productivity, and improve customer and partner relations.
The preintegration of the collaborative services helps make the solution faster and easier to deploy at a lower cost. A common infrastructure across products and services can increase security and ease of administration, and helps lower total cost of ownership.
