SUNNYVALE, Calif. - November 12, 2001 - Interwoven, Inc. (Nasdaq: IWOV), the leading provider of Content Infrastructure, today announced the availability of Interwoven TeamXML software, its innovative XML repository that allows companies to increase efficiency throughout the enterprise. Interwoven also announces new technology alliances with leading XML players Arbortext, DeskNet Inc., SoftQuad, Software AG and XyEnterprise to provide customers with a complete, end-to-end XML content solution.

Interwoven TeamXML produces efficiencies at all levels within an organization:

- Individual - Increased productivity of individual content contributors with easily re-purposed content

- Team - Collaboration among multiple teams, enabling parallel development, element-level content control and reuse

- Enterprise - Ensure content integrity, consistency and accuracy through the elimination of content redundancy

With the launch of TeamXML, Interwoven also announces today new integrations with XML forerunners to bring best-of-breed technologies to the market in the first, end-to-end XML solution. To ensure a complete, high-impact solution for our customers, Interwoven has partnered with Arbortext, DeskNet and SoftQuad for content creation, conversion and publishing, DeskNet and XyEnterprise for automated XML production and Software AG for content runtime retrieval and storage.

"Combined with innovative technologies from our new partners, Interwoven is bringing to market the industry's first end-to-end XML Content Infrastructure solution," said Kevin Cochrane, vice president of product management at Interwoven. "Together we are able to tackle head-on the key Content Infrastructure issues facing enterprises today - content re-purposing, content re-use and the avoidance of redundant content creation - providing a best-of-breed solution that improves enterprise efficiency."

Leading Healthcare System Touts Benefits of TeamXML

"At Novant Health, where we have potentially hundreds of knowledge workers contributing to thousands of Web pages to our Internet and intranet sites, our Web strategy is to continue to build on our success with Interwoven's proven Content Infrastructure product," said Douglas Smith, director of eBusiness at Novant Health. "Because of Interwoven TeamXML's remarkable ability to break up and re-purpose reusable content as well as store content natively as XML for delivery to print, PDAs and the Web, Novant will be able to create a single source to store and re-use our content for multiple outputs. With TeamXML, we anticipate up to 50% improvement in the productivity of our content contributors enterprise-wide."

Key TeamXML attributes that will allow enterprises to realize company-wide efficiencies include:

- Parametric Search - Contributors are often forced to recreate content when unable to locate existing content. TeamXML's hierarchical discovery and search model provides unprecedented ease-of-access to reusable content components.

- Native Object Model - Prevailing ePublishing architectures do not permit storage of XML objects in native form. TeamXML's infrastructure scalability allows customers to store all XML content natively.

- Migration Flexibility - Enterprises no longer have to struggle to retrofit content or contend with "all or nothing" XML adoption. TeamXML allows customers to migrate individual Web assets, or even components of assets, to XML as circumstances dictate.

- Multi-Channel Output - Contributors face ineffective processes and often duplicate steps for delivering content to different channels. TeamXML provides customers the ability to deliver the right content in a timely manner using the right output media - whether it is print, wireless or Web.
