Integration of TeamSite with IBM's WebSphere Enables Faster Time-to-Web for Customers

SUNNYVALE, Calif., November 30th, 1999 - Interwoven, Inc. (NASDAQ: IWOV), a leading provider of content management software for the enterprise Web, today announced its second major initiative with IBM (NYSE: IBM) which integrates the IBM WebSphere product line with Interwoven's flagship product, TeamSite. The integrated solution allows customers to accelerate both time-to-launch and the evolution of eBusiness Web sites. This complements Interwoven's first collaborative effort, the successful integration of TeamSite with IBM Net.Commerce, IBM's leading eCommerce solution.

"TeamSite provides a robust content management solution which extends the functionality of IBM WebSphere" said Tom Inman, director of marketing, IBM Websphere. "With TeamSite, customers can empower a large contributor base, both non-technical and technical, to produce rich content for WebSphere-based applications."

The IBM WebSphere family, including the WebSphere Application Server and the WebSphere Studio Web application development environment, is a comprehensive system designed to help customers with high-performance Web sites to ease the transition from simple Web publishing to advanced eBusiness applications. WebSphere products leverage existing enterprise systems and extend them to the Web, while running on multiple IBM and non-IBM platforms.

With TeamSite, customers today have an enterprise-scale content management solution, including versioning, workflow control and efficient deployment of content for IBM WebSphere applications. TeamSite supports, out of the box, the IBM WebSphere Studio development environment and set of Web development tools for designing and building interactive Web sites for the IBM WebSphere Application Server. TeamSite is also compatible with IBM's DB2 Universal Database.

TeamSite allows the integration of IBM WebSphere application code, including JavaServer Pages and Java Servlets, with all other Web content such as HTML and multi-media assets. The entire Web application is then quality assured within the TeamSite environment before being deployed to production. The available combined-solution means higher quality content and faster time-to-Web for customers.

"The demonstrated synergy between IBM WebSphere and Interwoven TeamSite today provides a full solution for customers, linking the development and content management environment to the WebSphere application server," said Jeffrey Engelmann, vice president of business development for Interwoven. "This provides customers with a full life-cycle solution for building, maintaining and extending advanced eBusiness Web applications."
