3. We need to share information
and knowledge across the
different companies
in the group!
The solution must be
flexible enough to allow
new companies to join the group!

9. Agile approach
Impact was underestimated by the client
Difficult to organize within such a large multinational group
Input from too many users, too many companies, which led to
a lot of scope changes
10. Standard Liferay
Lots of out-of-the-box components available => use them
Standard components, different presentation
Flexible Development API
12. Liferay backend
Seems to be more for technical oriented users
Backend-users need minimal training
13. Liferay maturity
Liferay is becoming a mature product
Growth to maturity comes with some minor bugs
Very good Liferay support which managed to solve +90% of the
bugs within 48 hours
14. Conclusion
Best choice if you have a mix of Content Management, Document
Management and Social Collaboration
Liferay is a good choice for a phased approach
Portlets offer a flexible way to restructure the content of the
pages completely without any code changes
Liferay can be used for public website, intranet, … on one
installation, without additional license costs
