AUSTIN, Texas -- Customers Such as ATL -- Claro, Georgia Technology Authority, H&R Block, Meyer Corp., National Instruments, ResMed and Telefonica de Espana Are Increasingly Adopting Vignette V7 Products

Vignette Corp. (Nasdaq:VIGN) today announced that current Web content management customers are increasingly adopting the Vignette(R) V7 product line as their primary information management product. New and legacy Vignette customers -- such as ABC Financial Services, Amalgamated Banks of South Africa, the Athens 2004 Summer Olympics Games, ATL -- Claro, Ferrovie Dello Stato SpA, the Georgia Technology Authority, Houston ISD, H&R Block, Meyer Corp., National Instruments, ResMed, South African Broadcasting Corporation and Telefonica de Espana -- that have deployed the Vignette V7 Content Management solution as a core part of their enterprise content management initiative are experiencing decreased time to market for new Web properties, dramatically reduced costs associated with maintaining these sites, and the ability to scale to handle demanding site traffic.

"As a longtime Vignette customer, the Georgia Technology Authority has made the investment to upgrade from previous versions of Vignette content management and portal products to Vignette Content Management release 7, Vignette Application Portal and the Vignette Dynamic Portal Module," said Gina Tiedemann, director of GeorgiaNet for the GTA. "GTA has recently gone live with eight sites on Vignette V7 solutions, including one major new initiative in as little as four weeks."

Vignette V7 Web content management eases and automates the processes of creating, managing and publishing online information, giving business users direct control over the management and presentation of their Web-based content.

Vignette solutions help drive cost savings for an enterprise's Web applications by providing a content management application that can be easily configured to meet an organization's business and technology needs while delivering a superior online presence.

"META Group's clients are increasingly asking us how to update their existing information technology infrastructures to gain the benefits of a more modern architecture that takes advantage of industry standards to drive real business value," said Andrew Warzecha, senior vice president and director at META Group. "Vendors that were proactive and re-architected their products during the technology downturn are now favorably positioned to deliver tangible results such as speed-to-market that enables customers to achieve competitive advantages. Indeed, META Group predicts that this trend will accelerate, and organizations will seek to exploit these modern Services-Oriented Architectures to upgrade their existing applications and Web properties."

Another example of the benefits of Vignette V7 Content Management architecture is demonstrated by the official Athens 2004 Summer Olympics Games site. As one of last year's most high-profile Web sites, the Vignette-powered http://www.Athens2004.com site served up more than 100,000 distinct pages in English, French and Greek. Further, the site scaled to handle more than 800 million total page views during two weeks, with peak traffic of 51 million to 53 million page views per day at several points during the games.

"Vignette works in partnership with our customers to enable them to compete, innovate and grow their business more efficiently today and into the future with our enterprise content management, processing and delivery solutions," said Conleth O'Connell, chief technology officer at Vignette. "Customers were telling us that they wanted a more tightly unified content management and presentation environment, and the Vignette Dynamic Portal Module and Vignette Dynamic Site Module were built with this goal in mind. The Vignette V7 product line has consistently received industry and analyst accolades, and growing adoption is validation of our ability to listen to our customers and deliver a dynamic, industry-leading enterprise content management solution."
