Interwoven TeamSite Customers Gain Seamless Access to Existing Enterprise Content Repositories with New VeniceBridge Offering

SUNNYVALE, Calif., and CHARLOTTE, NC - February 4, 2002 - Interwoven Inc. (Nasdaq: IWOV), the leading provider of Enterprise Content Management software, and Venetica, the leading provider of Content Integration solutions, today announced that they have signed an agreement allowing Interwoven to sell Venetica's award-winning VeniceBridge product and the new Content Provider for TeamSite. Under this alliance, Interwoven will make the new product available to its customers, enabling them to discover and aggregate content from existing enterprise repositories into Interwoven's flagship product, TeamSite. Content Provider for TeamSite is generally available today.

"The ability for enterprises to leverage existing content in support of enterprise content management and portal initiatives is a growing market need," said Karen Shegda, Research Director, Gartner Inc. "Customers are beginning to demand solutions that enable them to seamlessly integrate content from their legacy systems and existing repositories to drive higher ROI for eBusiness initiatives."

Using Content Provider for TeamSite, business users can now search from within the TeamSite software environment to discover critical assets, regardless of how or where the content is stored - such as in repositories from Documentum, FileNET, Lotus, Microsoft, Open Text and others - and leverage the appropriate content to support their ongoing initiatives. For example, a manager preparing for a product launch will now be able to access existing documents such as technical publications and regulatory submissions housed in various repositories. Once available to TeamSite, Interwoven MetaTagger, Interwoven's best-of-breed enterprise metadata solution, will enable users to effectively and accurately enrich and repurpose content across any and all initiatives, including enterprise portals, CRM and eCommerce.

"Customers need an easy way to access previously developed content - a critical component of content processing," said Jack Jia, CTO of Interwoven. "Content Provider for TeamSite allows customers to discover content within existing content stores and leverage it through TeamSite. We've had an overwhelming response from customers who have already viewed this new offering, and we are extremely pleased to be working with Venetica to make it broadly available to the marketplace."

"Content integration has become one of the most critical requirements for large organizations," said Stuart Levinson, president and CEO of Venetica. "We are excited about working with Interwoven to enable customers to take advantage of our content integration offering and extend the value of TeamSite within their eBusiness initiatives."
