Backbase does not provide any out-of-the-box services

Integration Services is embedded in Portal Services, but can build a standalone WAR file.

Integration Services development uses Maven for project management

Developer creates custom integration services for each connection to a remote source.

Integration services can be used in widgets

2. Collectors: collect data about the user from external sources, merge them into a user profile, store profile in temp cache

3. Portal Services retrieves the latest user profile related to the request

4. Rules engine evaluates selectors against the user profile. It selects the correct alternative of Targeting Container and returns it to the client. First alternative is always selected, else fallback
