Congratulations on launching your Business Integration Portal.

It truly is setting the authoritative standard for WebSphere projects that will have partners and customers coming back over an over again for its timely management overviews, case studies, and most importantly, easy access to experienced people at service partners. We see your consulting portal as an excellent complement to IBM's new Dashboard, Self-Service, Content, Collaboration, and Enterprise Suite Accelerators, which provide customers with interactive platforms for more effective and cost-efficient ways to access information, share ideas, communicate and work together. It is impressive that you are using the Websphere Portal community itself with the data, knowledge and intelligence in a social network with customers to provide such a complete and comprehensive overview of all aspects of the WebSphere product portfolio. Also, we are pleased that you have chosen to offer detailed personal profiles of leading portal professionals as well. This is a benefit that Project Managers are bound to appreciate greatly. We now look forward to the implementation of your plans to include a common platform for the WebSphere community that will bring together service partners and customers for even the most advanced WebSphere services. Keep up the good work!
