Vignette Corporation was a company headquartered in Austin, Texas that offered a suite of content management, portal, collaboration, document management, and records management software. Founded in 1995, Vignette was bought by Open Text Corporation in 2009.
Targeted at the enterprise market, Vignette offered products under the name StoryServer that allowed non-technical users to create, edit and track content through workflows and publish it on the web. Vignette held more than 70 U.S. patents and provided integration for enterprise resource planning, customer relationship management and legacy systems, supporting Java EE and Microsoft .NET.
Many large websites ran Vignette's StoryServer, including CNET,UnitedHealth Group, Disney, Wachovia, Martha Stewart, Fox News Digital, National Geographic, MetLife and BSkyB. Vignette provided the technical platform for the 2004 Summer Olympics website. In 2008, NASA credited Vignette Portal as a "key tool the team uses in-house to keep the content organized."
In November 1995 Ross Garber and Neil Webber started Vignette with the goal of making web publishing easier and more personalized. The company's seed round investors were Austin Ventures and Sigma Partners. In a second round, Vignette secured $10 million of venture funding in July 1997 and $14 million in May 1998.
