Integration of a robust content management product with the enterprise web platform is one of the most critical issues facing organizations, said Bob Airasian, president of BellSouth.com, Inc. We are working with both iPlanet and Interwoven to help us build a world-class customer experience.

Interwoven TeamSite software streamlines and simplifies Web development for customers developing eBusiness properties on the iPlanet platform by virtualizing or simulating the development environment (i.e. iPlanet Application Server) to facilitate collaborative authoring, workflow and versioning. TeamSite manages the development of diverse Web assets including HTML, audio, video, JSP, servlets, and EJB. XML-based TeamSite Templating allows non-technical users to easily contribute content and to apply metatags referencing Web application components that leverage reusable EJB business components.

Built upon open Internet standards J2EE, XML, LDAP, IMAP and WML the iPlanet Internet Service Deployment Platform provides the core infrastructure necessary to handle the complex demands of the e-business revolution. This massively scalable, battle-tested software platform which provides industry leading user management, application services, communication tools, portal services and commerce applications - is designed from the ground up to be integrated and customized.
