Vignette Awarded Best Overall Private Company Blue Ribbon and Best Product by Red Herring 100

Red Herring Editors Recognize Vignette as One of the "Brightest Lights of the Digital Universe" in 1998

AUSTIN, TX, August 17, 1998 -- Vignette Corporation, a leader in the
emerging category of Internet Relationship Management (IRM), today announced it has received two prestigious awards by the Herring 100, Red Herring's list of the top private and public companies in digital technology, featured in the publication's September issue. Vignette, an "industry favorite" according to the Red Herring, was heralded as the Best Overall Private Company in 1998. StoryServer, Vignette's premier Web application platform for Internet Relationship Management (IRM), also won the 1998 Best Product Award and was recognized for its "technical accolades" and "solid and satisfied customer base."

"The companies we have selected are dominating markets and defining the way we live and work," said Jason Pontin, editor of Red Herring. "Our Digital Universe issue details the substance behind these companies, giving both an objective and-as always - a highly-informed, subjective view of the digital landscape."

"Vignette is thrilled to be named a 'private company superstar' by the Red Herring," said Ross Garber, chairman and co-founder, Vignette Corporation. "We place great value on the expert team we have assembled at Vignette and our position as the leader in the Internet relationship management market. We are very proud that our achievements have been recognized."

A complete list of the Herring 100 Companies of 1998 is available in the September issue of Red Herring, available on news stands now, and can be found on the Web at redherring.com. Through a system of metrical and analytical comparisons, the Herring 100 offers a new twist on the Fortune 500, illustrating that surviving and succeeding in the new economy takes widely-varied approaches and is commendable across both public and private sectors. The carefully chosen list of private companies represents those businesses that have excelled in areas of management, marketing, business development, funding and unwavering vision.
