Portals

The Astoria Portal enables a tighter level of customer engagement than is possible with traditional one-way publishing systems. The Astoria Portal allows your customers to download an instance of a publication or topic, personalize a collection of topics into a PDF, eBook or other format, and consume that content offline on a smartphone, tablet, or desktop device. The underlying components of the Astoria Portal include:

A RESTful API, which allows the Astoria Portal to be embedded and branded in virtually any web environment, allowing you to seamlessly deliver content into any platform.
A fully customizable user interface to preserve and adhere to your corporate brand and user experience.
Apache Solr (built on top of the Apache Lucene engine), which helps your customers find the information they need and be guided to any related content.
A end-user-facing “workflow” capability, which allows communities of trusted customers to pre-approve content for distribution to your broader customer community.
Detailed analytics reports show which resources your customers access the most.
Linkage to Astoria Annotations so that customer comments can then be viewed in a writer’s authoring tool (if you’ve enabled this type of collaboration).
