Vignette Video Drives Richer Web Experiences

Vignette announced new video products that help organizations deliver an immersive, video- centric Web experience. Vignette Video Services and the latest release of Vignette's Rich Media Services allow organizations to streamline video management and make it a central part of their overall Web strategy. The new services are designed to increase viewer time spent on site, improve customer engagement and drive revenues using video as a significant source of site content. Vignette Rich Media Services now includes a video module that integrates with Vignette Content Management, enabling organizations to manage the workflow and publishing of video and all other Web content from one interface. Vignette Video Services is a hosted video management solution that provides capabilities to upload, transcode and manage and deliver video. Both products leverage the same core video processing platform and include a media player that offers the ability to tag and share any segment of a video. The Flash-based player can be embedded on any site. Vignette is also working on future capabilities to provide Web publishers with a "heat map" that identifies the most watched parts of a video. Video is now integrated into Vignette Content Management, allowing video assets to use the same authorization and security model, share advanced metadata and participate in the same workflow and publishing model as other Web content. Additionally the videos can be delivered to any Web site via Vignette's embedded Flash player, through a content delivery network or directly from Vignette Video servers. http://www.vignette.com
