Web App vs Portal Platform - convincing the customer
<p>We're evaluating a set of requirements for a customer who wants Liferay which mainly has AAA and Web CMS requirements, and allowing user to upload their own content. Also all inetgration is via web services.</p>

<p>However there is no need for other features such as actual "portlets", i18n, mashups, skins, themes, tagging, social presence, no collaboration etc</p>

<p>So we feel we can do this as a standard JEE web app and not use Liferay (or any other portal product) since these are overheads we dont need.</p>

<p>The customer feels the <strong>Web CMS requirements + user upload justify the "portal" product.</strong></p>

<p>Can anyone help me with some points to convince the customer? Assuming our point of view is right.</p>
