The deal will see the software used to manage information on internal and external networks as well as publicly accessible Web sites in the United States and Europe. From there, DaimlerChrysler would expand the use of Vignette products to its sites in other divisions, including Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge and Smart. DaimlerChrysler said the decision to designate a standard sales software is part of its Information Technology Management program aimed at making its sales operations business more effective and efficient.
