Interwoven Content Management Solutions Streamline Management and Deployment of FT Your Money and Investors Chronicle Web sites
SUNNYVALE, Calif., USA - October 26, 2000 Interwoven, Inc.(Nasdaq: IWOV), the leading provider of enterprise-class content management software solutions, announced today that FT Personal Finance Ltd, a division of the Financial Times Group, is using Interwoven TeamSite software to develop new online services rapidly and manage dynamic information for FTyourmoney.com ( www.ftyourmoney.com ) and also the online version of Investors Chronicle ( www.investorschronicle.co.uk ), two independent personal finance Web sites aimed at UK investors and consumers.
"A partner site to FT.com and FTMarketwatch.com, FTyourmoney.com extends the Financial Times reputation for independence and authority to providing free, personalised and flexible news, advice and services on the Internet. Investors Chronicle, as a weekly magazine, has been serving investors with news on London Stock Exchange-listed companies since 1861. The online Investors Chronicle gives private investors analysis on every UK listed company, intra-day updates on market use and a ‘toolbox' for portfolio management. "
"TeamSite was chosen primarily for its seamless integration with BEA WebLogic application server, a rapid implementation path and ease of use that was required by the Financial Times Group project team. Interwoven's implementation team built permanent operations from the USA to France in a little over one month without service downtime."
"The solution enables over 30 application developers and content contributors, including some of the UK's foremost financial writers, to streamline creation and deployment processes dramatically. OpenDeploy software, Interwoven's content replication and syndication solution has minimised internal content deployment processes from an average of 36 hours involving a team of Web administrators across three countries, to under a minute for one end user. "
"FTyourmoney.com will be the leading Internet resource for independent financial information by helping to demystify and make sense of what is perceived to be a complex financial world," said Wendy Kerr, general manager at FTyourmoney.com. "With TeamSite's ability to manage both our editorial content and application code from a single platform, we will speed development and enable information to be updated throughout the day which is essential for the viability of the service."
"Financial Times Business publications combine authoritative, in-depth analysis with informed commentary. It's these blue chip qualities that make FT titles required reading for financial decision-makers worldwide," said David Ogidi, UK managing director for Interwoven. "Extending this reputation for editorial accuracy, independence and integrity to the Web means that the need for effective and reliable content management is a mission-critical requirement."
The Financial Times Group aims to be the international business community's authoritative source of general business news and analysis. Built around the flagship of the group, The Financial Times, FT branded newspapers and electronic services are used by over two million business people everyday.
