Ease-of-Use and Rapid Implementation Leads BT Ignite To Choose Interwoven's Content Infrastructure

SUNNYVALE, Calif. - October 15, 2001 - Interwoven Inc., (Nasdaq: IWOV), the leading provider of Content Infrastructure, today announced that BT Ignite, BT's international broadband and solutions business, is using Interwoven's Content Infrastructure product suite to provide European customers with up-to-date information on products and services, from voice, data and IP connectivity through to eBusiness applications, systems integration and consultancy.

The first phase of the implementation went live in September. This stage of the implementation has enabled primarily marketing staff to quickly and easily create and amend the latest news and events sections as well as the front page of the site.

Interwoven's Content Infrastructure was chosen because it offers easy integration with existing as well as next-generation systems. Content Infrastructure ensures that compelling content can be developed and deployed quickly by non-technical contributors while maintaining a consistent look and feel.

Interwoven's content collaboration capabilities ensure that information can be shared effectively between different Ignite teams and work can be conducted in parallel before going through the editorial workflow process.

"The BT Ignite Website is essential for communicating with our European customer base," said Philippe Tarcher, vice president of marketing, BT Ignite Products and Marketing. "Interwoven gives us the capability to give our existing and potential customers the information they need to make informed decisions."

"Business-to-business operations are increasingly conducted on the Web," said David Ogidi, managing director of Interwoven UK & Ireland. "It is therefore essential that companies such as BT Ignite ensure that their Web content is of the highest standard and relevance to customers. With Interwoven, BT Ignite content experts can now communicate their knowledge of products and services on the Web."
