Vignette-Powered Web Sites Win Industry Excellence Awards

Vignette (NASDAQ: VIGN) announced that two of its customers — the University of Utah and the U.S. Department of Labor — have been recognized by media and industry organizations for their Vignette-powered, public-facing Web sites.

Vignette itself has earned a spot on the fifth annual eContent 100, a compilation of companies that matter most in the digital content industry.

The University of Utah

The Interactive Media Council, a nonprofit organization dedicated to furthering Internet standards, has awarded The University of Utah with an Interactive Media Award for Outstanding Achievement. The awards, judged by professionals from organizations such as American Express, CNNmoney.com and the New York Times, evaluate each website based on design, content, feature functionality, usability and standards compliance. The university has worked with Vignette to foster online collaboration around the school’s renowned brain research initiatives.

U.S. Department of Labor

The Government Computer News (GCN) Awards honor government agencies whose information technologies have been selected as the top 10 in 2008. One of them was the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management, which was honored for its GovBenefits E-Gov Program. The Web site, www.govbenefits.gov, provides access to benefits for more than 1,000 federal and state-administered programs. The site uses Vignette software to handle its content, including benefits information and user-based workflow.

Vignette and the eContent 100

Vignette was honored by eContent, a publication dedicated to digital content strategies and resources. The publication named Vignette to its fifth annual eContent 100, which recognizes the companies that matter most in the digital content industry. Among the many Vignette products cited by eContent were Vignette Case Manager, Vignette Community Services, Vignette Media, Vignette Portal, Vignette Recommendations, Vignette Video and Vignette Web Content Management.

"These awards reflect Vignette’s versatility in client base and as well as technological capabilities,” said Dave Dutch, senior vice president of products and marketing at Vignette.
