OutStart, the leading provider of software solutions for online learning and knowledge sharing, today announced that it has signed a strategic partnership with Vignette Corp, a leading enterprise content management, collaboration and portal software company. Recognizing the strong demand for online training and e-learning solutions provided through portals, OutStart and Vignette have forged an alliance to more tightly integrate their respective applications. Vignette currently uses OutStart's online learning application to intelligently deliver native learning content in multiple forms of output across the entire global enterprise. As a result, Vignette has been able to:
-- Deliver online training and enablement of all employees, regardless of level or geographic location.
-- Recognize significant savings in travel costs and training room rentals.
-- Enable a completely new off-shore engineering division with real time training.
-- Realize ROI within weeks from the implementation.
"As travel budgets have become more constrained, and just in time training becoming more essential, the demand for online training has increased," said Wayne McCulloch, vice president and general manager of Education Services at Vignette. "Online training is a natural extension for companies using portal technology. By using Vignette Portal technology, just in time, personalized, online training can be delivered to all employees, anywhere, anytime.

"Vignette's ability to help clients quickly configure and deploy highly functional portals and applications is impressive. For example, leveraging the Vignette Portal, we are able to make changes to our own Web site in seconds, rebuild entire Web sites in days and dynamically deliver the right content to the right audience with ease," said Massood Zarrabian, president and chief executive officer for OutStart. "We look forward to collaborating with Vignette to better meet the needs of the marketplace." |
