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.

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."
