Philosophy
Creating the right web experience for your customers and employees means delivering the right information to the right person at the right time. Multichannel communication, social networking and mobile computing have added more complexity to an already challenging world of managing enterprise content. Avalon helps some of the world’s largest organizations create great web experiences using platforms from technology leaders like Vignette.
Avalon separates itself from the pack in our ability to help our clients weigh the costs of the technology decisions against the benefits to the business. An elegant technology solution does not necessarily equate to a successful business implementation. While our senior team of consultants are deeply knowledgeable in ECM technology, they recognize that our purpose in engaging with our clients is to ensure end user acceptance and a return on investment by the business.
Core Competencies
Avalon has an impressive track record of success in implementation of Vignette platform solutions. Our Vignette Content Management services include DPM/DSM architecture & development, workflows, installations, upgrades/migrations, and performance tuning. Our Vignette Portal services include UI design, custom portlet development (including JSR168), Vignette Builder, installations, upgrades/migrations, and performance tuning. Our Vignette Business Collaboration Server services include UI design & customization, workflow development, policy/security schemes, installations, and upgrades/migrations.
Across all of our Vignette service areas we have excelled at delivery of enhanced Search experience whether using the embedded version of Autonomy, extended Autonomy licensing, or other Search platforms based on the client environment. We are also proficient with the use of Vignette's Business Integration Studio (VBIS) for data & content manipulation.
Related Competencies
Though Avalon has an unparalleled specialization in the Vignette suite, our skills in general development of content management and portal solutions run deep. Our clients have called upon us to guide them through -- or deliver turnkey -- solutions requiring native Java/J2EE development, AJAX, database tuning, integration of the Vignette suite with external solutions (e.g. Vignette Portal deployment where other Content Management systems exist, or use of WebSphere, WebLogic, or other commercial portal products as front end portal for Vignette Content Management implementations) and much more.
