Content management software provider Vignette Corp has struck an alliance with software giant Microsoft Corp to build Web-based media applications on Office and SharePoint.
Under the terms of the deal, Microsoft will leverage Vignette's web content management software to deliver rich multimedia content on Windows PC and Internet-enabled mobile devices, set-top boxes and Xbox video games consoles. For example, content cataloged and stored Microsoft's Office and SharePoint Server 2007 systems will be made accessible to these devices via Vignette's content management products.
Several media and entertainment firms already use Vignette to manage rich media content such as movies, music and photo files and deliver it to media-player devices.
The announcement was made at Vignette's Village user conference that is being held at the company's headquarters in Austin, Texas.
