| Quelle: Information Builders
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - March 24, 2009) - iWay Software, an Information Builders
division and an innovator of enterprise
integration solutions, and Vignette
Corporation (NASDAQ : VIGN ), the company that the world's leading brands
rely on for innovative and dynamic Web experiences, today announced an
agreement that will allow Vignette to more efficiently integrate ERP/CRM
application data into its Web Experience Platform.
Under the agreement, Vignette customers can license tested iWay ERP/CRM
adapters to ensure that enterprise information systems for finance, HR, and
other functions continue to integrate smoothly with Vignette solutions. The
partnership with iWay will complement and enhance Vignette's current
portfolio of integration adapters for integrating back-end business
applications, processes, and information.
"After extensive testing and evaluation of iWay technology and the
Information Builders channel program, we knew that iWay adapters were an
optimal solution for our customers' needs," said Dana Jones, vice president
of products for Vignette. "Through this agreement we will provide stronger
ERP/CRM data integration for Vignette's WCM solutions and the social media
solutions we introduced in the last 18 months."
The Vignette Web Experience Platform helps companies connect with their
audiences online in ways that are personal, social, transactional, and
available across multiple channels. Vignette's ability to integrate with,
and unify, enterprise information systems reduces the cost and speeds the
development, testing, and deployment of enterprise Web applications. With
the new and existing adapters, Vignette customers can integrate
applications and content repositories, both inside and outside the
enterprise, with any part of Vignette's Web Experience Platform. By
integrating iWay technology, Vignette also gains exposure to back-office
applications such as SAP and PeopleSoft.
"This partnership allows Vignette customers to take advantage of the
industry's leading integration adapters," said Gerald Cohen, president and
CEO, Information Builders. "By addressing enterprise information needs in a
single platform with reusable services, these customers can quickly realize
a reduction in the total cost of information management."
