RedDot is now Open Text

In October 2006, Open Text acquired RedDot (as part of its acquisition of Hummingbird Ltd.). To indicate that RedDot was now part of the Open Text family of products, we re-branded it to “Open Text Web Solutions.”

In June 2009, Open Text 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 Open Text Web Solutions referred to the former RedDot or Vignette product. To reduce the potential of market confusion, Open Text decided to rename the former RedDot product from Open Text Web Solutions to Open Text Web Site Management. At the same time, we decided to rename Vignette Content Management to Open Text Web Experience Management.

While both Web Content Management products, Open Text Web Site Management and Open Text 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.

Open Text Web Site Management (formerly Open Text Web Solutions and RedDot) is a powerful Web site application that empowers business users to keep content fresh and relevant for Web audiences. It is suited to rapid deployment of featured Web pages and support for multilingual Web environments. Furthermore, it has specific integrations to Microsoft SharePoint and SAP® NetWeaver® Portal, improving content richness and facilitating content management in these portal applications.
Open Text Web Experience Management (formerly Vignette Content Management) enables business users to create, edit, manage, and publish content to Web sites, connected devices, and offline media. It provides strong content reuse capabilities across sites and channels, reducing the cost to publish and maintain high quality content. It has proven scalability to thousands of contributors and millions of content items on some of the world's most respected sites. Furthermore, it can work in tandem with Open Text Portal (formerly Vignette Portal) to enable creation of high-performance, scalable Web sites with rich content and applications, supporting personalized interactions with customers, employees, suppliers, and partners.
