Edited by the Marketingweek Marketplace editorial team Jul 3, 2009

Vignette has announced plans to release Vignette Content Management 8.0 (VCM 8.0) in the second half of 2009.

VCM 8.0 enables marketers and business users to manage media-rich, global web properties through an intuitive user interface.

With VCM 8.0, organisations can create and manage an engaging online experience while relieving IT of basic, day-to-day web responsibilities.

The new user interface makes the management of pages and content simple, the company said.

A novice user will be able to build websites in minutes rather than hours while maintaining brand consistency using the scalability and power of Vignette architecture.

VCM 8.0 also includes personalised toolbars, favourite shortcuts and workspaces that recall user preferences.

VCM 8.0 out-of-the-box site templates and streamlined templating capabilities, combined with the ability for users to modify sites within approved brand guidelines, allow marketers to launch and evolve websites to quickly respond to sudden market shifts.

Marketers can focus on the message, instead of struggling with the tools.

At the same time, IT can confidently allow self-sufficient users to create and edit websites while adhering to pre-defined best practices and policies.
