TeamSite Templating Allows, Software Developers and Customers to Quickly and Easily Add Customized Content, Including Product Graphics, Descriptions and Pricing.

SUNNYVALE, Calif., - September 6, 2000 - - Interwoven, Inc. (Nasdaq: IWOV), the leading provider of enterprise-class content management solutions, today announced that BigMachines.com has successfully implemented Interwoven TeamSite to manage content used throughout its hosted Internet software application and eProcurement tools. The BigMachines.com Internet Sales Channel provides its customers industry-specific selection and configuration tools integrated with an eBusiness engine that dramatically increases their worldwide presence and selling efficiencies. Using Interwoven TeamSite software, BigMachines.com has been able to compress the time frame for content publishing five-fold.

"From day one of our launch, we've wanted to be a fast mover in the industrial machinery B2B space," said Vic Alston, co-founder and vice president of engineering at BigMachines.com. "To do that, we needed a way to speed the process of creating and delivering up-to-date information through our various solutions. Interwoven has freed us from relying on a cumbersome, manually-driven quality assurance system. Now we can deliver fresh content on a daily basis, instead of once a week."

"We expect Interwoven TeamSite to continue to play a central role in helping us realize our plans to continually lead the way in eBusiness for Engineered Systems for industrial machinery customers around the globe," Alston added. "With its open architecture, vast flexibility and infinite scalability, TeamSite will allow us to quickly extend the BigMachines.com Internet Sales Channel across multiple languages and currencies."

BigMachines.com selected Interwoven TeamSite to provide a system for rapidly developing and managing BigMachines.com Web content and code in multiple, parallel development streams. BigMachines.com will take advantage of TeamSite's advanced workflow to create a smooth development and approval process that will support its goal of maintaining a content-rich and up-to-date product offering.

Interwoven Bridges Demands in eBusiness for Engineered Systems

BigMachines.com regularly needs to develop and maintain Web content and code, often supporting its customer base through multiple, parallel development streams. Through Interwoven TeamSite, BigMachines.com can create a smooth development and approval process that supports its need to continually add robust functionality to its BigMachines.com Internet Sales Channel offering.

BigMachines.com eSales, a component of the BigMachines.com Internet Sales Channel, enables machinery manufacturers to sell their complex products directly from their own eCommerce Web site. In addition, through patent-pending architecture, open XML technologies and solid business partnerships, the BigMachines.com Internet Sales Channel connects suppliers to multiple B2B eMarketplaces, such as the BigMachines.com Marketplace and vertical-specific exchanges such as PaperExchange.com and Infrastructureworld.com, and to broader, buyer-focused technology platforms such as Ariba and Commerce One.

In November, BigMachines.com plans to make TeamSite Templating available to suppliers via the BigMachines.com Internet Sales Channel offering. This will allow suppliers to quickly and easily add their own content - while retaining their own branding - through a simple, browser-based interface. TeamSite Templating will further enhance suppliers' ability to add and update their own content to the BigMachines.com eBusiness engine and it will allow BigMachines.com to more rapidly scale its business by turning content updates over to sellers.

"Businesses are quickly realizing the competitive advantages of empowering the people who actually hold corporate knowledge to contribute this content to the Web," said Joe Ruck, vice president of marketing at Interwoven. "With TeamSite Templating, BigMachines.com can make content contributors out of the suppliers themselves, giving them an unprecedented time to market backed by control over their eCommerce offerings and branding."

Interwoven Alliance with webMethods

"We are also very please to hear about Interwoven's recently announced alliance with webMethods because we have chosen to integrate webMethods' business-to-business integration (B2Bi) into the BigMachines.com Internet Sales Channel," added Alston. "The integration of the two products will allow us to provide our customers with easier re-purposing of internal corporate content into our product offering."
