In less than three weeks the OpenText Content World Conference will be taking place in Orlando, Florida. A full week packed with training, technology and case study presentations, marketing fuzz and meeting the guys who are in the know about the latest products gathered under the OpenText umbrella.
Over the last few months I was part of a secret Open Text CMS Community mission. This is the outcome based on the works of Danny Baggs and many others.
The double acquisition of former RedDot Solutions didn’t do any good to the product and their customers. Great ideas and innovations were put on hold because the buyer had to restructure and reorganize. How can everyone benefit from Open Text’s externally focused growth strategy?
Today we have a couple of different sources for support and several places to exchange ideas and knowledge or seek a helping hand. These are all separated. I am thinking about a place where everything can be found at once.
This is an idea myself and others are playing with at the moment. I would like to get your ideas and thoughts on this to grow, connect and mature the current Open Text Web Solutions Community approach.
Take a look at the September 2009 review, now! Lot of interesting and new articles, more tricks for the Web Solutions CMS AND of course the discussion around what’s going on with RedDot’s future and where Vignette takes place in it.
Since I last posted on this blog regarding Visual Studio integration for Management Server work has steadily progressed on the product. Shout outs to all those people who have submitted suggestions for functionality and licensing – most of your suggestions…
This topic has been mentioned by John Shackleton, CEO of Open Text earlier this August where he said that Open Text “would migrate the RedDot to the Vignette platform.” Is that just a uncertain rumour? Or is there more?
Why not let editors who don’t work often with RedDot but daily with Excel edit their data in the environment they are used to – and let RedDot do the work? All you need is half an hour of preparation.
On Monday 25th May Morgan Ritchings attended the Brisbane RedDot or should that be OpenText Web Solutions User Group meeting. There was a good mix of partners, customers, freelancers.
