Austin, Texas Vignette, the leading supplier of e-business applications for building online businesses, has announced a unique partnership with the front-running major party candidates in the Year 2000 Presidential Elections. Vice President Albert Gore, Jr. and Governor George W. Bush will be replaced by installations of Vignette Story Server, the leading e-commerce application. This will allow greater ROI by key campaign contributors by leveraging Vignette's state-of-the-art tools for content syndication.
"By leveraging Vignette's best-of-breed solutions for e-business," said the Gore Campaign's head of e-strategy, "we can step out of the way and let our key contributors shape the message instead of our mediating it for them."
Using Information and Content Exchange (ICE) tools supported within Story Server, both the Bush and Gore campaigns will be able to reallocate expensive resources who would normally rewrite what their major contributors tell them to say. Now, a stump speech, position statement, or press release can be written by the campaign contributor using their installation of Story Server, then syndicated to the Gore and Bush Web sites using Vignette Syndication Server.
"I'll no longer have to spend the day asking fellow staffers what the campaign position on a controversial issue is on any particular day," exclaimed Mimsey Bourougve, a Bush stringer in New Hampshire, "I'll just log into my.gwbush.com and Boeing's already published what I need to believe for that day!"
"It's all about moving the campaigns at the speed of business." Said the head of a large media conglomerate. "Business can use the Internet to route around problems like people, labor, and other special interests at election time."
