SUNNYVALE, Calif., November 15th, 1999 - Interwoven Inc. (NASDAQ: IWOV), a leading provider of content management software for the enterprise Web, today announced an alliance with Cisco Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CSCO), the worldwide leader in networking for the Internet.

The combination of Interwoven's TeamSite Web content management system and Cisco's Internet Business Solutions provides a robust infrastructure for customers to optimize and accelerate their transformation to eBusiness.

"The ability to manage and publish content from disparate sources across the enterprise is a key requirement for becoming a globally connected organization," said Sue Bostrom, vice president of the Cisco Internet Business Solutions Group. "The Interwoven solutions, with their open architecture and secure transfer capabilities, are an important addition to the ways we can help customers accelerate their online initiatives and rapidly move to using the Internet to re-architect their businesses."

The synergy between Cisco and Interwoven creates a combined domain expertise in helping customers build and maintain world-class Web sites. Interwoven will benefit from Cisco's Internet business technology experience as well as its market leadership in networking products and services. Both companies will benefit through joint technical development and integration.
