Open Text has released a new version of enterprise portal offering Vignette Portal version 8.0, which it claims to enable organisations to provide customers, employees and partners with rich internet experience where they can find relevant and personalised information aggregated from multiple business and consumer-based systems.
The company claims that the new offering simplifies the administration and creation of content-rich web sites with the ability to syndicate portal applications across web properties powered by multiple systems. It also enables additional social media capabilities that align with the company’s strategic development of Enterprise 2.0 offerings.
The version 8.0 consolidates site creation tasks while enabling content and application reuse. It enables users to create or clone microsites with accelerated web site creation from a template or existing site. It streamlines asset management with WebDAV support that empowers web designers to use a native design tool, like Adobe Dreamweaver, to model sites and target assets without logging into the portal, the company said.
According to Open Text, the new offering syndicate portlets or web applications based on Vignette Portal 8.0 and drop them onto virtually any web site for syndication. It provides end user web experiences via AJAX-powered portlets that enable users to interact in real time with applications and content. It also plans to enhance its ECM Suite with web offerings powered by technology from its existing web offerings and Vignette.
Scott Bowen, SVP of Open Text, said: Our solutions help organisations drive value from content through the delivery of personal and relevant experiences that support revenue generation and efficiency throughout the enterprise. These proven and vital presentation services deliver substantial ROI for literally hundreds of critical business applications.
