TeamSite 5.5 Provides Bullet-proof Content Management that Meets the Integrated, Scalable Technology Stack Requirements of IT

San Francisco, Calif. - GearUp 2002 Conference, October 29, 2002 - Interwoven, Inc. (Nasdaq: IWOV), a world leader in Enterprise Content Management (ECM), announced today that TeamSite 5.5 software meets the rigorous requirements of today's enterprises, many of which now depend on a centralized IT structure to develop and manage their content initiatives.

This IT centralization trend is described in a recent analysis by Forrester analyst, Ted Schadler, in his report titled "Software Innovation Shifts To Platforms & Portfolios" August 2002. "During the Internet discovery phase, eCommerce and eBusiness teams abounded, technology risk tolerance soared, and many tech decisions were made in the absence of technologists. But over the past 18 months, technology decision-making has shifted to centralized IT shops. The percentage of firms with centralized IT organizations has risen from 17% in 2000 to 58% in 2002."

"This re-centralization of IT plays right to the core strengths of Interwoven because it puts the emphasis back on robustness and scalability, an area where our fifth-generation technology really shines," said Jack Jia, CTO of Interwoven. "Our customers have confirmed that a number of robust characteristics of our latest ECM platform are critical to their operation. This is why they are turning to Interwoven as the proven, bullet-proof solution that best fits their overall IT stack."

No Planned System Downtime
TeamSite 5.5 is designed for continuous operations support, which means businesses require no planned downtime for application maintenance and tuning. With TeamSite 5.5, enterprises can ensure maximum server uptime for all LOB applications, leveraging centrally-managed IT content management services. Also, with TeamSite 5.5's improved overall performance, backup is now faster and can be done "warm" while the system is in use.

"After upgrading to Interwoven 5, we saved 5 gigabytes worth of disk storage and removed two-and-a-half million files from our backing store. This resulted in significantly faster back-up time and increased overall performance," said Lance Goodsell, TeamSite Administrator at Euro RSCG Tatham Partners.

Bullet-Proof Data Integrity and Business Continuity
TeamSite 5.5 provides data integrity in case of application or hardware failure. With its support of industry-leading availability and cluster management software and hardware from Sun, Veritas, IBM, Network Appliance, Computer Associates and others, TeamSite 5.5's new advanced repository provides IT departments with reliable consistency of the content repository, even in the event of a secondary server machine failure.

"Our customers' content initiatives are mission-critical, so their content management system must be operational 24X7," said Aman Datta, Content Management Practice Director at AGENCY.COM. "The robustness of Interwoven's latest platform, including its archiving and recovery capabilities, helps AGENCY.COM deliver an overall content architecture that can stand up to the demands of the enterprise."

TeamSite 5.5 also minimizes service disruption in the event of application and hardware failure by enabling recovery and ongoing operations support for technical and non-technical users. With Version 5.5, customers can ensure continuous business operations to meet the most demanding enterprise Service Level Agreements (SLA).

Data Recovery
TeamSite 5.5's new advanced file-based object repository makes enterprise data recovery fast and easy. It provides:

- Segmented Storage: By partitioning content into physically separate content stores, customer can run backups simultaneously, allocated storage more effectively an migrate content easier.

- Rollback: With Version 5.5, enterprises have both fine-grained and whole-site versioning and rollback capabilities for all of their enterprise content and application code. This means that organizations have tight control over all content that is critical both in terms of regulatory compliance and continuous operation in case erroneous information is published.
