Autonomy Interwoven News & Articles

Autonomy is all about getting meaning out of something, anything. So it's really not surprising that Autonomy Interwoven (news, site) has announced a new solution that provides analytics for social media solutions -- meaning based analytics that is.

Everyone said that the Interwoven/Autonomy deal would only be the first in a series of big announcements within the enterprise content management world. And that it is.

Today, Canadian-based enterprise content management vendor Open Text (news, site) has reached a deal to buy Vignette Corporation (news, site) for US$ 310 million.

Vignette is expected to become a wholly owned subsidiary of Open Text. The deal will see Vignette stockholders get US$ 8 per share plus 0.1447 of Open Text stock.

The deal is expected to close the second half of this year. The news saw Open Text shares fall by 85 cents. Vignette's shares however soared US$ 3.32 -- a sign that shareholders see this as good news for the struggling enterprise content management firm.

"Vignette's customers represent some of the world's most powerful online brands and we are excited about the opportunity to expand the relationship with these customers and partners," Open Text Chief Executive John Shackleton said in a statement.

We are waiting on more details. When we get them, we'll be sure to pass them on.

Autonomy reported its financial results for the first quarter of 2009. According to the company, these (unaudited) numbers represent the highest Q1 revenues and profits in Autonomy's history.

One of Q1 2009 highlights is, of course, the completed acquisition of Interwoven, Inc. with “integration ahead of plan” and cash flowing in as well as out.

When Autonomy (news, site) announced its acquisition of Interwoven in late January there were many in the web content management industry who believed it was the beginning of the end for Interwoven TeamSite -- this despite Autonomy's commitment at the time that all Interwoven products would live on according to their existing roadmaps.

Well Interwoven does live on, but the roadmap? It's not quite the same. The existing roadmaps for TeamSite and the other products have been accelerated and the capabilities within TeamSite have taken on new meaning -- meaning based marketing.

CMSWire had the opportunity to talk with Autonomy execs to get a better understanding of what is happening since the acquisition was finalized -- there's been a whirlwind of announcements -- and what it means for the future of Interwoven's TeamSite web content management solution.

Whether or not it’s by way of razzle dazzling Web CMS, Autonomy Interwoven is certainly bent on setting the bar for something. The second announcement from the company this week comes from an entirely different angle, and attempts to woo the hearts of businesses looking for new ways to interact with their customers.  

Less than a month ago Autonomy and Interwoven—the brand new-ish dynamic duo—announced their first brainchild, TeamSite integrated with Autonomy’s Intelligent Data Operating Layer (IDOL) platform. This week, baby got an upgrade.

The Web Content Management Platform now proudly integrates with multivariable testing (MVT) and closed-loop analytics capabilities. The combination reportedly makes it even easier for marketers to create, deliver, optimize and analyze websites.
