Liferay is used by Worth IT to organize and integrate various cloud tools. It provides single sign-on access to tools like Google Drive and JIRA, structures them around individual projects, and allows searching across tool content. This solves challenges of managing passwords, knowing which tools are being used for what, and finding important information spread across multiple services. Liferay also offers control and flexibility to replace tools as needed.

solve different problems.

Our business is organised in Projects
● Our cloudtools don’t know - but our Liferay
portal does.
● Every project is a site. Our project team is
included as site members.
● Every employee gets their own unique view of
what’s important

Integrations help to save time
When a project is started - a site is created and our
cloud tools are made aware of it.
A project folder is prepared in google drive.
JIRA is set up and ready to be used.
This way the tools use unique and similar
identifiers.
