Vignette Corp. announced the availability of a new Vignette V6 Adapter for Unstructured Content that enables organizations to more easily integrate unstructured content into portals and Web applications developed with Vignette V6. Rather than treating unstructured content as monolithic static files content aggregation agents created using the V6 Adapter for Unstructured Content are able to look inside the content, discern unique patterns in the information and aggregate only what is relevant, such as specific news information intended for an employee intranet. Because of its pattern-recognition-based approach to content integration, the V6 Adapter for Unstructured Content is able to adapt to changes in the format or location of content. The Vignette V6 Adapter for Unstructured Content enables organizations to not only extract content from enterprise content sources, such as SAP, PeopleSoft, Siebel and popular desktop applications, but also makes it possible to input data from a variety of sources into these applications. The Vignette V6 Adapter for Unstructured Content is available and included with the purchase of the Vignette V6 Content Suite. www.vignette.com

divine, inc. introduced a solution for automating the entire content lifecycle. Combining its enterprise content management, collaboration and search technologies, divine’s integrated approach to managing the content lifecycle enables dynamic and timely collaboration not only as content is developed, approved, and published, but also when ideas are generated and refined and, ultimately, when key audiences interact with the content on Web sites and portals. With its integrated solutions approach, divine is helping firms address two key aspects of the content lifecycle: the idea-generation phase in which business users research and collaborate to develop and refine content; and the delivery phase when content, complemented by other technologies, is used to enable intelligent interactions through content-driven applications and business initiatives. Without effectively addressing these areas, companies will never be able to fully leverage content as a strategic corporate asset. www.divine.com
