Companies constantly have to provide interactive and useful access to information from diverse sources in a unified way. Vignette Portal provides a highly scalable and efficient means of aggregating this content for use across a variety of initiatives inside and outside the firewall.
Presenting your face to the Web, Vignette Portal delivers highly personalized Web sites with rich content and applications, enabling you to meet your unique online business goals:

Vignette Portal serves as QAD's presentation framework and flexible content front-end, aggregating content from Vignette Content Management, or any other database, and presenting it to users in whatever format is best for them. Content can be updated automatically across all channels; customer Internet, partner and customer extranet, and employee intranet. Additionally, content is translated and presented in 27 different languages, allowing QAD to serve their diverse, global customer base.
Behind the scenes, Vignette Portal also helps realize internal efficiencies:
Vignette Portal's pre-defined portlets and its integration with Vignette Social Media, along with other applications and data, enable the creation of highly interactive, personalized online experiences that meet the demands of today’s Web 2.0 empowered users.
Vignette Portal's point-and-click wizards simplify the task of customizing one or many portals, putting layout and brand management in the hands of marketing, not IT. Business users can simply select and assemble portal components and then assign appropriate access rights. And only Vignette provides reusable components with rapid integration portlets that can reduce the time and effort needed to customize multiple portals.
Vignette Portal’s out of the box templating capability lets users rapidly and easily create microsites or clone Web sites with one-click Web site creation from a template or existing site, reducing the time to create a microsite or launch a new online initiative.
Vignette Portal’s composite application builder empowers business via a GUI-driven development tool that lets site administrators combine data in meaningful ways to create valuable business applications without IT intervention.
Implementing Vignette Portal and Vignette High Performance Delivery together provides a unique, integrated combination of real-time caching and intelligent cache management capabilities. The result can be substantially improved dynamic Web site performance.
