Vignette Community Applications

Today's experienced Web users expect a more engaging online experience. And engaging sites can foster communities, encourage collaboration, increase customer loyalty, and drive increased revenue.

Encourage Online Interaction

Give your Web visitors a voice. With Vignette Community Applications, organizations can quickly and easily add Web 2.0 features to their properties and create compelling sites and social microsites that enable communities and effectively launch a brand, product or campaign.

Web 2.0 features such as blogs, wikis and forums can enhance any Web experience

Inside your business. Organizations can leverage blogs, wikis or forums to solicit feedback from users throughout each phase of a product lifecycle.

Help customers help themselves. Adding peer support can dramatically improve customer care. Implementing a customer care forum, for example, allows peers to help each other solve problems, often faster than the organization normally can respond.

Increase brick & mortar business. Positive word of mouth is contagious. Let visitors to your Web site help increase your visibility and brand awareness.

Add integrated social microsite capabilities to bring it all together

In addition to common Web 2.0 features, Vignette Community Applications enables social networking, idea management, event/calendar management, and video, photo and podcast sharing on any Web property. Add all of these Web 2.0 features together and you can create a rich social microsite to encourage your visitors to return to your site again and again.

Vignette Community Application Features

Blogs. Establish an easy-to-moderate online channel of communication with your audiences that gives you an informal way to connect with them and enables them to participate in more informal conversations with each other.
