WorkLight Teams Up with Netvibes

WorkLight and Netvibes have announced a partnership to provide companies with a secure, enterprise-grade widget solution to do business with customers, partners, and employees. The partnership combines the power of universal distribution capabilities of Netvibes' Universal Widget API (UWA) and personalized startpage platform, with the enterprise-grade Web 2.0 security resources of WorkLight Server, enabling customers and businesses to search for and purchase products and services, track order shipments, share secure information, and conduct other secure actions using Netvibes widgets and startpages.

Companies taking advantage of these new capabilities can provide consumers with a host of customized tools, ranging from secure RSS feeds and targeted promotional widgets to secure, transactional widgets for managing accounts, and more. An apparel retailer could offer its customers a new to search inventory and buy items directly from a secure widget. Similarly, a bank customer could track credit card payments, transfer funds and respond to marketing offers using the WorkLight Server's ability to securely connect to business and enterprise systems behind the firewall, made available within Netvibes' robust startpage and widget platform.

By engaging customers where they spend their time online, businesses will extend their business reach beyond their own website and benefit in the following ways:
° Generate new revenue by delivering innovative, transactional widgets that increase customer activities;
° Significantly cut costs of doing major business portal overhaul by leveraging a "drop in" robust personalized homepage architecture that is installed securely within the data center;
° Acquire new, and retain current customers by offering improved service in the places they are already spending their time online.
