Interwoven Solutions Help Cisco Exceed Customer Expectations Online

SUNNYVALE, Calif., November 29th, 1999 - Interwoven, Inc. (Nasdaq: IWOV), a leading provider of content management for the enterprise Web, today announced that Cisco Systems Inc., the world leader in networking for the Internet, is using Interwoven solutions to manage and deploy content to its award-winning Web site Cisco Connection Online (CCO: www.cisco.com ). Interwoven solutions, TeamSite and Open Deploy, provide Cisco a robust and scalable content management and deployment platform to ensure a high level of customer satisfaction for Cisco customers worldwide.

CCO, the world's largest Internet Commerce site, with online sales exceeding $ 12 billion, is often cited as a model of eBusiness excellence. In terms of scope, CCO involves thousands of content contributors, over 700 content editors and 10 million pages of content. These volumes result in 50 million page presentations per month to the over one million users around the world.

"CCO is a highly integrated, powerful, easy-to-use, networked application for those doing business with Cisco, " said Pete Solvik, senior vice president and CIO for Cisco Systems. "Adoption of flexible, open Web technologies such as Interwoven, allow us to continue to evolve in exceeding customer expectations."

Interwoven TeamSite and Open Deploy provide CCO with a global content management and content deployment platform. Specifically, Interwoven benefits for CCO include:

• FASTER TIME TO WEB - Cisco employees move information quickly to the CCO Web site, right from their desktop, without having to use a cumbersome and complex set of non-integrated tools. This enables Cisco partners, resellers, customers and investors to get timely information from CCO.
  
  
• HIGHER CUSTOMER SATISFACTION - The user experience on CCO is now enhanced by ensuring that all links and content have been quality checked within TeamSite. The result is a higher quality web site that improves the likelihood of repeat visits, and improves the ability of customers to navigate to meaningful information.
  
  
• SCALABLE SYSTEM WITH GLOBAL CISCO-WIDE WORKFLOW CAPABILITY - The 10 million page Cisco Web site is large and growing. Each month, more than 2000 new documents are posted by more than 700 web editors. TeamSite provides Cisco with a scalable infrastructure that can grow as the company grows.
  
  
• REDUCED INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY OPERATIONAL COSTS - TeamSite has enabled Cisco to distribute Web publishing administrative tasks. This in turn has improved productivity and enabled the freed resources to contribute to the delivery of mission critical projects. Further, Cisco has been able to obsolete over eight legacy publishing tools, saving hundreds of thousands of dollar in maintenance and development costs.

The integration of Interwoven TeamSite is part of the ongoing Cisco effort to demonstrate the power of the Internet and Internet-related technologies to benefit all business constituents. As with all Cisco solutions, this content management solution will scale to meet the needs of CCO authors and users well into the next millennium.
