Interwoven TeamSite to Help ABC Technologies Meet Plans for Expanded Targeted Content for Verticals and Content Syndication Across

Five Sites

Interwoven, Inc. (Nasdaq:IWOV), the leading provider of enterprise-class content management software, announced today that ABC Technologies (ABC Tech) has selected Interwoven TeamSite as its content management solution for its performance management portal (www.bettermanagement.com) and its corporate web site (www.abctech.com). Interwoven TeamSite will allow ABC Tech to accelerate the deployment of content by a team of producers, easily integrate content from outside experts, and allow syndication of content across multiple sites in order to provide a richer experience for its online community.

BetterManagement.com offers in-depth, on-line "Authority" web sites for selected performance management concepts. Current Authority sites include two vertical hubs: The ABC Authority (www.ABCAuthority.com and www.abctech.com) and The Scorecard Authority (www.ScorecardAuthority.com). BetterManagement.com and its vertical hubs will deliver the latest concept-specific information by leveraging Interwoven TeamSite as its content management infrastructure.

"Delivering the latest and most in-depth content on leading management practices by leveraging the know-how of internal resources and external business gurus directly onto our site is key to our business strategy," said William McKinney , CTO of ABC Tech. "To keep our sites dynamic and meet our pla ns to provide additional services to our online customers, we selected the inclusive content architecture of TeamSite because it can handle our rapidly changing content and provides an adaptable platform for future expansion."

To deliver the most comprehensive content, BetterManagement.com taps into relationships with management consultants, research analysts, journal and magazine publishers, universities and academics, industry consortiums, market-leading technology partners, and organizations who have implemented these management concepts. With TeamSite Templating, content from outside resources can be quickly and easily adapted for the portal's look and feel. Content authors, both inside and outside of BetterManagement.com need only concern themselves with content creation, not content presentation.

"BetterManagement.com delivers the latest and most in-depth content on leading management practices and provides an interactive community for managers looking to improve their operations," said Joe Ruck, vice president of corporate and channels marketing at Interwoven. "By harnessing TeamSite's open, scalable architecture, they will continue their service leadership and remain a premier portal providing the industry-leading concepts, case studies, and software solutions for helping organizations measure and improve their performance."

Another key selection criteria for ABC Tech was TeamSite's open architecture which will allow them to easily integrate other best-of-breed application servers and personalization engines in the future. TeamSite software's parallel development environment will allow the producers to easily create, approve and QA content targeted to different verticals, ultimately allowing BetterManagement.com to shorten its content production cycle and improve its customer service.
