"The sforce Portal Toolkit for Java System Portal Server effectively extends salesforce.com S3 into the portal environment so that enterprises can create the best possible software-as-service systems to support their unique processes, avoiding technical, financial or licensing headaches associated with software-only solutions."

"In conjunction with salesforce.com, we developed the sforce Portal Toolkit for Java System Portal Server to allow enterprise developers and IT professionals to quickly implement Sun-based portal solutions. These solutions allow customers to enjoy the benefit of reduced complexity, cost and development time without sacrificing integration and extension capabilities."
