Why VCM is the choice of prominent online brands worldwide
It creates a consistent cross-channel experience. Vignette Content Management makes it easy to control branding and deliver a consistent message through public-facing Web sites, extranets or intranets. It allows content to be stored once, and published to mobile devices, kiosks, TV set-top boxes and much more.
It's designed for the future. Vignette Content Management enables organizations to scale to a large number of sites, volume of content and number of content contributors. As the number of sites and the quantity of content grows, the number of content contributors can scale with it. And the product's robust Content Type Modeler lets organizations work with custom, complex content types. It can handle content types that haven't even been thought of yet.
It's built on standards-based technology. Vignette Content Management can lower total cost of ownership of your enterprise Web applications by leveraging open standards, such as XML, J2EE and Web services. This support for standards makes it easy to keep up with technology advances, which explains the product's strong support for Web 2.0 technologies like AJAX. Enterprises can quickly deploy and easily manage highly scalable and reliable Web sites, applications and portals.
