Portal - UWL vs. SAP Business Workplace

[Sherman Wright]

Hi - 

We are using Portal 6.0, and because of unfamiliarity, etc., etc., we had
replaced the Universal Work List (UWL) with the SAP Business Workplace
(transaction SBWP) using Windows HTML GUI.  We have a handful of workflow
approval tasks (PR approvals, Fixed Asset retirement approvals, Absence
Request approvals, etc.) that we route to people in their Workflow Inboxes,
which should be available with either "tool".

We are in the process of moving from SAP R/3 4.6B to MySAP ERP (ECC 5.0).
In light of this, I have been asked to provide pros and cons regarding
replacing the Business Workplace with the UWL, since the UWL is the default
tool in Portal.  Do any of you have any strong arguments either for or
against the use of UWL as opposed to the Business Workplace?  Some of our
users really like the ability to do their automatic forwarding, substitution
maintenance, outbox maintenance, etc., from Portal.  Most of these things
especially don't seem to be available in the UWL.

Any information would be appreciated.

Regards,
Sherman
