Virtusa-Vignette renew strategic partnership

Bangalore, May 4: Virtusa, a global software development and IT services provider, and Vignette today announced a strategic partnership to leverage the Vignette Centre of Excellence, currently in operation at Virtusa's Hyderabad Technology Centre, for Vignette product management, product engineering and professional services implementation.

Vignette developed a comprehensive suite of enterprise content management (ECM) solutions that help organisations transform their content from a liability to an asset.

The Vignette Centre of Excellence at Virtusa opened in 2000 as a small quality assurance team and had since evolved into a significant ecosystem fully integrated with Vignette's global engineering workforce, processes and systems. Under the terms of the new agreement, Vignette might increase the team size, according to a release here.

''I consider the Virtusa team an integral part of global engineering. The synergy between engineering and professional services is very powerful at the Vignette Centre of Excellence,'' Vignette Senior Vice-President (Engineering and IT) Leo Brunnick said.

Virtusa Executive Vice-President John Gillis said ''this partnership will provide our teams a great opportunity to work closely with some of the world's best engineering talent.''
