ENTERPRISE content management company Vignette is on the hunt for a new Asia-Pacific head following the sudden departure of Graham Pullen.

Mr Pullen has been in the IT industry for over 33 years, including an initial two years at Vignette as national sales director before leaving in 2001.

In 2002 he joined Documentum as managing director of Australia and New Zealand.

The following year storage giant EMC acquired Documentum.

Mr Pullen spent less than 24 months under the new EMC management before returning to Vignette in early 2005 as Asia-Pacific general manager and vice-president.

A Vignette spokesperson confirmed his tenure had ended.

January 18, 2008: In a bid to extend its enterprise content management capabilities, Oracle has announced that it will be acquiring document capture solutions specialist Captovation.

The acquisition is expected to strengthen Oracle's potent Enterprise Content Management (ECM) software portfolio, providing an integrated and automated solution for overall transactional content management that it claims will help reduce costs, streamline critical business processes and simplify regulatory compliance.

Oracle says Captovation's software will become a core component of its ECM offering, a component of its Fusion Middleware - the industry's fastest growing technology foundation for Service-Oriented Architecture.

“Oracle is committed to expanding its leadership in the ECM segment by creating the most complete, integrated, usable, manageable and hot pluggable content management platform through organic growth and intelligent acquisitions,” said Thomas Kurian, Senior Vice President at Oracle Server Technologies.

“By adding document capture to Oracle's leading content management, process automation and back office applications, Oracle will be the only vendor that can provide customers with a fully integrated solution for automating back office operations.”
