Information Architected Market Alert (IAM Alert): Today OpenText announced plans to acquire Vignette. (See press release.) On one hand this move makes sense. OpenText has clearly been on a growth through acquisition strategy, and this move is aligned with that. As I blogged about last January, Tom Jenkins, OpenText Chief Strategy Officer and Executive Chairman, […]
