Vignette Upgrades Amidst Turbulent Waters

Vignette has seen better days. This period the company’s Q3 revenues are expected to fall 10 percent (between US$ 42 million and US$ 44 million), a significant disparity from the US$ 46 million to US$ 50 million it forecast in July.

But life was good over the summer. Vignette had just built a hub of multimedia services. Tides are notably quick to turn.

CEO Mike Aviles explains part of Vignette’s current problem can be attributed to sub-par licensing revenue this quarter.

But a tough Q3 hasn’t stopped Vignette from powering forward. The company just announced the availability of a fresh version of Vignette Content Management.

The new Vignette Content Management includes:

• Customizable start pages for content providers
• In-context editing, which turns websites into unique management interfaces for creating and modifying content. Whole pages can also be replicated throughout the site
• Enhanced presentation management, with the inclusion of AJAX-based content components

Now is as good a time as any to make the transition to Vignette, which has weathered its fair share of storms with a good deal of grace. Last month we published a how-to series on migrating content to Vignette v7.0. Check out parts one, two and three, then tell us — from your experience — how well Vignette stands up.
