Interwoven Enables Developers to Implement Market-Leading SOA Across Product Lines

Interwoven TeamSite content server software provides a fully integrated file system interface that takes advantage of the 20+ years of work that Microsoft has put into developing the Windows files system. As a result, TeamSite has the ability to manage any type of content, including .NET output such as ASPs, C++ files, or Visual Basic scripts.

Interwoven TeamCode software extends the reach of TeamSite to meet the specific challenges faced by Web application developers. Unique in the industry, Interwoven TeamCode manages the release cycle of both Web content and .NET-generated application code, enabling business and technical teams to effectively collaborate during the Web application development process while helping to eliminate the manual and error prone processes typically associated with developing content-rich applications.

Interwoven MediaBin Asset Server software provides enhanced XML Web Services that enable rapid integration of its digital asset management capability with line-of-business applications - reducing the time it takes to launch products and supporting marketing and sales campaigns. This represents the industry's first fully .NET- and SOAP-compliant SOA for digital asset management, augmenting previous Java, C++ and COM APIs.

Future releases of Interwoven ContentServices will expose the entire Interwoven product line as a layer of Web Services that can be used in any .NET initiative. They will enable point-and-click as well as custom integrations with .NET-based portal servers such as SharePoint, and will support the recently ratified Web Services for Remote Portlets (WSRP) specification in order to fully support .NET servers.
