Vignette Enhances Web Experience Foundation

Vignette (NASDAQ: VIGN), a global leader in Web experience management and delivery, today announced significant enhancements to its Web Experience Platform foundation. The latest releases of Vignette Content Management, Vignette Portal and Vignette Collaboration provide the cornerstone that helps organizations deliver fast, personal, social and multichannel experiences their key audiences demand. According to Gartner, "It's evident that use of PCC (Portal, Content and Collaboration) technologies is pervasive inside organizations and touch 100 percent of knowledge workers every day. Use of PCC technologies means the tools, technologies, best practices and vendors that allow organizations to access information and manage content and interactions electronically.”1 Vignette’s integrated Web Experience Platform foundation helps organizations quickly manage and deliver targeted content and facilitate user interaction and collaboration with the high performance and scalability required to support large-scale deployments. Unlike point products offered by competing vendors, Vignette provides the core foundation to deliver compelling Web experiences on a massive scale, incorporate Web 2.0 and social computing features and give IT the flexibility to add new product modules such as Vignette Recommendations or Rich Media Services on top of a pre-integrated platform. "Our mission is to be the leading resource for the advancement of materials knowledge in education, industry and society through knowledge sharing and interaction,” said Steve Weiss, director of Education, Events, and Publishing at ASM International. "It’s paramount that we offer our members a unique, relevant and engaging Web experience to ensure our site remains a useful tool for contributing and collaborating. Vignette’s Web Experience Platform foundation enables us to deliver a variety of related content through multiple layers of personalization and allows materials engineers, scientists, researchers and students to access and interact with that information and each other from a single integrated platform.” Vignette Content Management empowers users to streamline the creation and management of Web content and eliminate bottlenecks associated with the delivery and publishing of that information. Enhanced features include friendly URLs to increase search engine site rankings, skip level upgrades to reduce the steps necessary to upgrade from older environments and integration with Vignette High Performance Delivery (HPD) for faster, more compelling experiences. Vignette Portal enables business users to elevate their brand identity and engage in more personalized Web interactions with key audiences. New capabilities include integration with HPD and Vignette’s recently announced Community product line, which can help keep content fresh and engaging. Vignette continues to embrace the growing need to implement mashups and composite applications by enhancing support for new standards. Vignette Collaboration helps organizations drive productivity, improve knowledge management and more efficiently direct business processes that require interaction across disparate geographic and organizational boundaries. The latest release features new social computing capabilities including ratings, reviews, tagging and usage analysis. Additional enhancements include improved usability and performance and enhanced support for blogs, wikis and discussion forums. Collaboration also supports auditing and retention policies which enable organizations to more actively manage knowledge relative to compliance. "Delivering faster, more social and more effective Web experiences requires a foundation that is easy to use and scalable,” said Mike Aviles, president and CEO of Vignette. "Our platform is unique in its ability to integrate the essential building blocks of the Web – content management, collaboration and portal – with the latest community-centric and personal elements to give organizations the tools they need to execute on their precise Web strategies.” For more information on Vignette’s Web Experience Platform, visit http://www.vignette.com/vwep.
