SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. - Interwoven GearUp '05 ECM Solutions Conference - May 11, 2005 - Interwoven, Inc. (Nasdaq: IWOV), provider of Enterprise Content Management (ECM) solutions for business, today announced two new content-centric solutions-the Interwoven Salesforce Productivity Intranet and Channel Extranet-designed to empower marketing organizations within the financial services, manufacturing and high technology industries to quickly and easily achieve sales and channel optimization. The new Interwoven Salesforce Productivity Intranet solution enables marketing organizations to quickly and easily provide sales personnel with the latest, most compelling information and sales tools even in the context of rapidly changing markets and campaigns, while the Interwoven Channel Extranet solution enables sales and marketing executives to make the channel a more seamless and effective extension of the internal sales organization, without increasing costs. The solutions are the first on the market designed specifically for salesforce and channel productivity, further reinforcing Interwoven's leadership in the dynamic and fast-growing Web Content Management (WCM) market.

Based on the latest version of Interwoven's revolutionary new LiveSite Content Publishing technology announced in January, the new solutions include packaged templates, components, best practices and pre-built websites that make it simple for business users to create and deploy intranet and extranet sites for specific salesforce and channel initiatives. Powered by new WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) Content Publishing technology, LiveSite is the industry's first Web publishing product that empowers business users to quickly and easily create and publish dynamic public websites, intranets and extranets while still providing IT with the tools to maintain a high degree of control and security. As a result, sales and marketing organizations can roll out new initiatives with less risk, cost and complexity; speed time-to-value; and gain competitive advantage by leveraging best practices to win more customers.

With its Salesforce Productivity Intranet and Channel Extranet solutions, Interwoven is addressing the growing demand by today's businesses for targeted, content-centric WCM solutions, especially in the highly-competitive financial services, manufacturing and high-technology markets. In fact, according to Forrester Research, 84 percent of enterprise-class organizations plan to increase their WCM deployments over the next 12 months to address evolving needs and to consolidate sites and departmental intranets.1 Also, in its recent WCM Wave report, "The Forrester Wave: Web Content Management, Q1 2005," Forrester identified Interwoven as a leader for both internal and external Web initiatives, giving Interwoven high marks for its focus on delivering content-centric WCM solutions that appeal to both IT and business professionals.2 Like other Interwoven solutions, the new intranet and extranet solutions announced today enable business users to rapidly launch new initiatives, while providing IT with a robust and flexible technology foundation for easily rolling out additional solutions over time.

"Interwoven is addressing a real challenge that marketing executives across industries are currently wrestling with-getting the most accurate and up-to-date information out into the field as quickly and cost-effectively as possible," said Karl Porter, manager of business application solutions, Russell Investment Group. "At Russell Investments, we leverage Interwoven to rapidly and cost-effectively roll-out new intranet and extranet sites to better arm our investment advisors and channel partners. With its new targeted intranet and extranet solutions, Interwoven is well positioned to truly enable companies to achieve the high level of sales optimization they've been looking for."

Interwoven Salesforce Productivity Intranet Solution To successfully drive growth in revenue and market share, marketing organizations must ensure that sales teams have the up-to-date, compelling information they need to be effective-a task often made more difficult by complex and changing products, concurrent campaigns and changing pricing, messaging and product functionality. Marketing executives are in desperate need of solutions they can quickly and easily deploy to support salesforce productivity, including mobile account executives located in multiple time zones, offices and customer locations, without draining additional resources.

The Interwoven Salesforce Productivity Intranet solution enables sales and marketing organizations to solve these critical challenges. By making it simple for business users to create intranet sites as needed, the solution simplifies sales processes and training for complex or technical products; rapidly changing products; products with multiple pricing and/or packaging options; and products with multiple campaigns targeted at different audiences and buyers. As a result, companies can increase salesforce productivity, accelerate time-to-value for new offerings, increase competitive win rates and lower internal training costs.

Interwoven Channel Extranet Solution While working to improve the productivity of internal salesforces, marketing organizations must also make sure that channel partners have the information they need to drive increased revenue. This means making the channel a more seamless extension of the internal salesforce by providing all the sales resources channel partners need-from current messaging and positioning language to the latest product information, pricing and case studies.

The Interwoven Channel Extranet solution enables sales and marketing executives to support channel partners as effectively as their own internal salesforce. By quickly and easily creating channel extranet sites, business users can increase channel productivity; broaden market reach and penetration; leverage the channel for more cost-effective sales and marketing operations; and build stronger channel loyalty and mindshare.

"Our focus is on delivering targeted solutions that business users can put to work right away to solve real needs, based on innovative technologies that provide a platform for further content-centric solution development by IT professionals," said Kevin Cochrane, vice president, WCM products and solutions. "Our latest Salesforce Productivity Intranet and Channel Extranet solutions are a perfect illustration of this strategy-not only are we providing marketing executives with the packaged templates and best practices they need to immediately execute on new initiatives, but we're also providing IT with a flexible foundation for further solution development moving forward."
