- in October 2006, OpenText acquired RedDot (as part of its acquisition
of Hummingbird Ltd.). To indicate that RedDot was now part of the
OpenText family of products, we re-branded it to “OpenText Web
Solutions.”
- In June 2009, OpenText then acquired Vignette Corporation and its
Vignette Content Management product. This event created a potential
naming conflict, because it would not be clear whether the name OpenText
Web Solutions referred to the former RedDot or Vignette product.
- To
reduce the potential of market confusion, OpenText decided to rename the
former RedDot product from OpenText Web Solutions to OpenText Web Site
Management. At the same time, we decided to rename Vignette Content
Management to OpenText Web Experience Management.
While both Web Content Management products,
OpenText Web Site
Management and
OpenText Web Experience Management address different
market needs. The two names are designed to communicate the strength of
each product and help customers differentiate between them.
