Improving the Web experience

Vignette reports three significant enhancements to its Web Experience Platform foundation: Vignette Content Management, Portal and Collaboration.

The company says Content Management is designed to empower users to streamline the creation and management of Web content and eliminate bottlenecks associated with the delivery and publishing of that information. Features include 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).

Vignette Portal has been engineered to enable 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. The company adds that it continues to support implementation mashups and composite applications by enhancing support for new standards.

Vignette says its new collaboration offering 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 includes 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. Vignette Collaboration also supports auditing and retention policies that enable organizations to more actively manage knowledge relative to compliance.
