Content Interchange Framework; Interwoven TeamSite To Be Integrated With TIBCO
ActivePortal
SUNNYVALE, CA and PALO ALTO, CA, August 29, 2000 - Interwoven, Inc. (Nasdaq:
IWOV) and TIBCO Software Inc. (Nasdaq: TIBX), today announced a strategic alliance
to provide comprehensive solutions for business-to-business marketplaces and
portals.
The recently announced Interwoven Content Interchange Framework will include
the TIBCO ActiveEnterprise e-business product suite as a key enterprise integration
component, enabling Interwoven customers to manage content from their enterprise
applications in real-time. TIBCO ActiveEnterprise suite will enable joint customers
to become real-time e-businesses by seamlessly integrating back-end systems
such as ERP, product databases and customer databases, with their Web initiatives.
The Interwoven Content Interchange Framework builds on Interwoven's success
in delivering a scalable, inclusive content management architecture, while focusing
on the new unique challenges facing trading partners across an exchange, including
enterprise integration.
"Real time enterprise data and fresh, relevant content are critical for today's
market exchanges and portals," said Vivek Ranadiv, chairman and CEO of TIBCO
Software Inc. "Interwoven's content management solutions will provide our customers
with improved quality control over the enterprise and external data that TIBCO
technology seamlessly integrated into their exchanges and portals."
Interwoven and TIBCO also announced today that Interwoven's XML-based TeamSite
Templating software will be integrated with the TIBCO ActivePortal product suite,
delivering integrated content management and presentation for TIBCO's portal
customers. TeamSite Templating allows easy content entry and tagging including
tagging for use across multiple TIBCO ActivePortal-based sites. The TIBCO ActivePortal
suite also works seamlessly with TIBCO ActiveEnterprise, enabling enterprises
to leverage their integrated application network and B2B commerce infrastructure
to provide an integrated, unique set of real-time content and interactive services
to their portal audience. TIBCO is the only end-to-end e-business infrastructure
company that provides integration, B2B connectivity and portal infrastructure
in a single, integrated product line.
"Our blue-chip customers will greatly benefit from the strength of the Interwoven-TIBCO
relationship," said Martin Brauns, president and CEO of Interwoven. "With the
integration of TIBCO ActivePortal and Interwoven TeamSite, we will provide a
powerful, open, best of breed solution for the rapidly growing enterprise portal
market."
The core of TIBCO's real-time software infrastructure offering is the TIBCO
ActiveEnterprise suite, designed for building a complete, end-to-end Internet
and enterprise infrastructure that successfully scales to the most demanding
business information networks. It provides a real-time e-business integration
platform that encompasses data integration and transformation, business process
coordination, messaging, enterprise portals and alerting, adapters for legacy,
packaged and third-party applications, plus enterprise monitoring and management.
The TIBCO ActivePortal product suite extends TIBCO's comprehensive ActiveEnterprise
infrastructure to include preparation and presentation of personalized content
to individual users. TIBCO ActivePortal performs three primary roles in the
creation of a portal: comprehensive integration of enterprise applications,
services, and content; portal user management, including authentication, user
access control, and portal category, profile, and page personalization; and
page assembly and presentation using templated output and integrated services.
The recently announced Interwoven Content Interchange Framework consists of
three core elements: eBusiness network collaboration, enterprise integration,
and access to exchange-based services. The framework consists of Interwoven
solutions - including currently available products and new technologies under
development - in combination with solutions provided directly from select partners
such as TIBCO. The Interwoven Content Interchange framework is an extension
of Interwoven's enterprise-class content management platform to address the
specific needs in infrastructure, features and processes that customers require
in order to focus on delivering the speed, quality and interactivity their B2B
initiatives require.
