Vignette to launch VCM 8.0

On the heels of its acquisition by Open Text, Vignette plans an imminent introduction of VCM 8.0, a key component of the Vignette Web Experience foundation, which is designed to empower marketers and business users to manage media-rich, global Web properties.

Vignette says VCM 8.0 allows organizations to easily create and manage an engaging online experience while relieving IT of basic, day-to-day Web responsibilities. Reportedly, a novice user will be able to build Web sites in minutes rather than hours while maintaining brand consistency. VCM 8.0 also includes productivity-enhancing capabilities such as personalized toolbars, favorite shortcuts and workspaces that recall user preferences.

VCM 8.0’s out-of-the-box site templates and streamlined templating capabilities, combined with the ability for users to modify sites within approved brand guidelines, allow marketers to launch and evolve Web sites to quickly respond to sudden market shifts. Marketers can focus on the message, instead of struggling with the tools. At the same time, IT can confidently allow self-sufficient users to create and edit Web sites while adhering to predefined best practices and policies.
