Vignette: New Version and New Targets

25-Oct-2002

Tags: Web Content and Experience Management, Selecting Technology, Vignette - OpenText

With its new "V7" Vignette tries to attack two areas where it had fallen behind some of the field: business-user functionality and content integration. But the more interesting changes are a reorganization of its product suites (the 3rd such shuffling in as many versions) and the introduction of a lite version scaled for (gasp!) departmental-sized installations. All the major players are going down-market -- where most of the buying is now. But only Vignette has given its salesforce an explicitly tiered product line, while Documentum and others have focused on broadening their enterprise-tier menus. We expect Vignette's approach to be mimicked quickly. Note that this is really a pre- announcement, because V7 won't ship until the end of the year...
