INTERWOVEN LAUNCHES TEAMPORTAL SOFTWARE.

Interwoven, Inc. (NASDAQ:IWOV), a provider of Enterprise Content Management, has launched Interwoven TeamPortal software, a new collaborative content application that enables enterprises to rapidly integrate enterprise content management into their corporate portal. Interwoven provides an organizational-based, collaborative model that ensures the accuracy, reliability and security of portal content. With TeamPortal, enterprises will realize their portal's full potential and achieve a more rapid return on investment.

"In order for an enterprise portal to succeed, a supporting ECM solution is essential," said Andrew Warzecha, senior vice president at META Group. "A company's enterprise portal must not only aggregate content and deliver it in a highly personalized, secured, in-context manner, but also enable users to collaborate, or make the content delivered actionable. This critical functionality aligns with the current ROI best practices of Global 2000 organizations that have found that the combination of content (content management), context (portals) and collaboration are much more valuable than the individual components."

Key Features of TeamPortal

-- My TeamSite: Through a simple interface, users can access and interact with content seamlessly. My TeamSite portlet enables cross-functional collaboration and improves business productivity.

-- Browse & Edit: Unique ability to add, delete and edit content from any page on the portal without logging into a separate screen or application.

-- My Wizards: Step-by-step guides for common tasks.

-- ContentServices: Based on TeamSites's open architecture including ContentServices, a Web service standard for provisioning content management to enterprise applications.

-- Collaborative Model: Flexible directory services allow easy mapping of LDAP and other directory models to TeamPortal's underlying enterprise content management services. Change and add users, teams and groups without the limitations of rigid database schema provisioning models.

"Oakland County has users in 60 different departments, groups, and teams throughout the county, who are all accessing and collaborating on our portal," said Jim Taylor, chief, technical services at Oakland County, Michigan. "Interwoven provides the only collaborative and flexible framework to easily manage all assets and people. By using Interwoven as our portal, we can ensure the success of our portal and manage our content lifecycle."

Key Benefits of TeamPortal

TeamPortal empowers users across the globe to participate in content creation and review cycles, enabling cross-functional collaboration while improving business productivity. Additionally, TeamPortal provides an extensible and adaptable content application platform to protect a company's existing portal investment.

"IBM and Interwoven have delivered more than 70 jointly-implemented portal solutions for our mutual customers. Interwoven has invested significantly to integrate with IBM WebSphere Portal, and the efforts show in a very seamless experience for the customer with simple and intuitive portlets," said Larry Bowden, vice president of Portals Solutions at IBM.

Interwoven TeamPortal provides the framework to develop, test and deploy all portal content. It is the only solution that supports a full range of asset types, including documents, rich media, application code, XML and HTML.

"Successful portals must include a scalable collaboration model that maps to the organization's structure. Therefore, an enterprise's portal end users need an easy-to-use interface to submit new content to their site, edit existing content, approve changes, and tag all content," said Jack Jia, CTO at Interwoven. "Interwoven TeamPortal provides enterprise portal content contributors direct access to content management functionality right within the portal interface."

Interwoven offers a comprehensive integration with more than 17 leading portals vendors including BEA, IBM, Oracle, Plumtree, SAP and others.
