Liferay, Inc., is an open-source company that provides free documentation and paid professional service to users of its software. Mainly focused on enterprise portal technology, the company has its headquarters in Diamond Bar, California, United States.
History
editLiferay’s original product, Liferay Portal, was created in 2000 by chief software architect Brian Chan to provide an enterprise portal solution for non-profit organizations.[2] In 2004, the company was incorporated under the name Liferay, Inc. and formalized its Germany subsidiary Liferay GmbH. In 2007, the company opened a new Asian headquarters in Dalian, China, and the Spanish subsidiary Liferay SL. In March 2009, the company opened a new office in Bangalore, India. To date Liferay has 22 offices worldwide [3] with over 250 partners [4] and 180,000 open source community members.[citation needed]
Sun Microsystems and Liferay signed a technology-sharing agreement during May 2008.[5] Sun Microsystems rebranded the offering GlassFish Web Space Server. ZDNet further describes the relationship in the May 2008 article Sun and Liferay launch web-presentation platform.[6] In 2010 Sun was acquired by Oracle[7] and the GlassFish Web Space Server was not included in their portal roadmap, with all prospects turned over to Liferay, Inc.
In April 2013, Liferay partnered with TIBCO Software to offer a series of Liferay enterprise Connectivity Adapters (eC Adapters) that use TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks with the intention of easing integration of Liferay Portal with multiple systems.[8]
In May 2016, Liferay introduced the Liferay Digital Experience Platform (DXP), an expansion of the original Liferay Portal to offer additional functionality such as engagement metrics.[9]
In July 2018, Liferay released version 7.1 of Liferay DXP along with two new products: Liferay Commerce, a digital commerce solution designed to streamline B2B purchasing, and Liferay Analytics Cloud, a cloud-based analytics solution designed to help business users understand customer activity. This marked the first time in company history that Liferay offered more than one product.[10]
