Vignette Corp. announced enhancements to its integrated content management and portal solutions to provide customers with measurable improvements in business efficiency. Vignette's latest offering provides operational excellence through mass manageability, a compelling Web experience through smart delivery of active content, and cost effectiveness through unmatched scalability. Vignette now offers the industry's most integrated portal and content management solution. With this release, Vignette continues to deliver on its strategy of a unified platform for information management and delivery scaled across the enterprise, giving customers the benefit of a single vendor contact for their unified content management and portal needs.
"This latest release builds on Vignette's commitment to offer solutions that meet rigorous customer requirements and ease challenges associated with organizations' high-volume, dynamic Web initiatives," said Dave Shirk, senior vice president of products, strategy and worldwide marketing at Vignette. "Vignette has long had a vision for the unification of information management and delivery, as evidenced by our acquisitions, our development strategy and our work with customers. It's gratifying to see Vignette's vision being adopted in the broader market and to help our customers leverage the industry's leading integrated solution to build powerful Web applications for customer self-service, brand management, employee communication, supplier and partner interaction, and more."
Through enhanced capabilities including expanded presentation management, real-time delivery of information from its native sources via real-time page generation and assembly, and advanced caching, Vignette customers are able to quickly deploy Web properties, decrease business users' reliance on IT and facilitate dynamic Web interactions across the enterprise.
Vignette content management now provides modular dynamic content delivery to Vignette portals and other Web sites, with a page region caching mechanism for unparalleled performance from dynamic sites. A compelling Web experience demands that relevant content be targeted to each user. Vignette's unique approach allows site managers to automatically target their information to channels, sites, specific users, or classes of users, even if that information resides in multiple repositories or is generated on demand. Vignette's solution allows organizations to efficiently manage unprecedented numbers of content items, Web sites, delivery channels, document types, and individual end users, and to deliver the most targeted, up-to-date, real-time information available at any moment.
"Web sites are rapidly evolving into applications that dynamically personalize content and pages to enhance each user's Web experience," said Kenneth Chin, vice president and research director at Gartner Inc. "Historically, these Web applications are expensive to build, and the task of targeting content has remained split between content owners and Web developers. Integrating the content management and portal delivery platforms allows business users to more effectively define targeting rules. Deeper vendor integration of management and delivery applications significantly reduces both development and custom integration costs while providing Web interactions that drive business efficiency."
As today's leading organizations increasingly turn to the Web for their interactions with customers, employees and partners, their IT organizations struggle to integrate growing collections of information stored in diverse content sources and enterprise applications, and to deliver those assets in a timely and useful context to each audience. Conflicting architectures, proprietary code and frequent product updates make integration of applications across the enterprise difficult and costly. Unlike competitors that leave the integration of management and delivery to the customer, Vignette's standards-based portal and content management solutions are integrated at the deepest level, one that third-party vendors typically are unable to achieve. The integration of multiple content items into a useful context allows business users to manage the entire Web experience from a single location without technical staff support. A business user can now tailor content based on any number of presentation criteria, such as device type, location, personalization profile and navigation path.
"Leading global organizations are demanding tighter integration from their content management and portal deployments; to be relevant, the two must work together to support dynamic, responsive Web interactions," said Akhilesh Tripathi, senior manager of E-business practice, North America, at Tata Consultancy Services. "Customers can maximize the value of their IT investment by deploying content management solutions that have deep integration between the management and presentation services while delivering the flexibility and scalability required by the enterprise. Vignette delivers this value with the latest release of its content management solution."
New presentation management capabilities span Vignette's content management and portal applications to allow IT departments to create templates that can be customized to power any number of unique sites. Vignette solutions separate control of layout, content and presentation so that static content, dynamic information, content selection rules and active applications are all assembled at request time to satisfy the Web user's requirements. As opposed to creating a static instantiation of a particular page, Vignette is able to dynamically assemble a Web experience in real time that is tailored specifically to the Web user, without incurring the hardware requirements and performance degradations that are typically associated with dynamic Web sites.
