Vignette Still Likes its Old Dog Food
More than a year after launching V7, Vignette still runs V6 on its own website. Note the telltale URLs -- like "0,2097,1-1-2049,00.html" -- that V6 employs for dynamic page assembly. More accurately, vignette.com runs V6 and V7. The latter operates behind the firewall as a proper CMS; the former does content delivery to public site vistiors. Vignette says it maintains V6 on its live site for migration-training purposes and plans to cut over completely later this year. That's reasonable. But Vignette has recommended a similar hybrid approach to several other customers. You see, V6 is a fairly mature content delivery engine, with personalization, caching, and so on. V7 does not deliver content (that's OK) and has almost no notion of content assembly (that's a problem). Vignette's content delivery choice du jour is supposed to be newly-acquired Epicentric Portal but you won't find it on vignette.com. No wonder several major customers with advanced V6 implementations aren't ready to try the new dog food yet either...

Our Customers Say
"The Web CMS Research was the roadmap for our entire CMS selection process. It truly provided a basis for understanding what we should look for and expect in a CMS. Above all, since we used the report as our guide, we are more than confident in our CMS selection. If we had to go through the process all over again, we'd still rely as heavily on this report as we did the first time."
