There is a great post on CMSWire that summarizes Open Text's (OTEX) approach to integrating RedDot and Vignette. I especially liked Jon Marks descriptions of the various paths they may take. We weighed in on this topic after the acquisition but as I read over the recent announcements  I see OT's  integration strategy is simple - do... Continue Reading →
