MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 19, 2002

Docent Inc. (Nasdaq:DCNT), the premier provider of eLearning software for Global 2000 companies, and Interwoven Inc. (Nasdaq:IWOV), the leader in enterprise content management, today announced an alliance to improve the way knowledge is created, managed, and delivered in large enterprises. Through the alliance, Docent and Interwoven customers are able to converge an organization's enterprise content strategy with its eLearning strategy to deliver measurable improvement in key business metrics such as increased revenue, decreased costs, and improved customer satisfaction.

By integrating Docent Enterprise(TM) eLearning applications with Interwoven TeamSite content management software, customers can form an enterprise-wide content management infrastructure for knowledge exchange and more easily leverage information residing in content repositories. As a result, companies are better equipped to solve business problems and deliver the right information to the right person at the right time.

"Docent's unique expertise in the development and delivery of enterprise-wide learning solutions is an excellent match for our extensive enterprise content management and deployment solutions," said Max Carnecchia, vice president of Interwoven's worldwide alliances. "Our joint customers can now leverage their existing enterprise content to help provide additional business value."

Interwoven has already successfully deployed Docent's eLearning solutions throughout its own organization to deliver an extensive array of learning experiences to employees and partners and provide learning programs with key enabling knowledge and information concerning its products and services.

The Value of a Broader Content Management Approach

Enterprise eLearning and content management are two areas that are becoming increasingly important as organizations look to deploy eLearning capabilities on an enterprise-wide basis that integrate internal solutions such as content management. The ability to easily leverage the organization's content assets into multiple learning experiences continually extends the value of that content. Consequently, companies can implement a comprehensive content strategy to improve learning, knowledge and information transfer for a strategic business advantage and organizational effectiveness.

"As eLearning becomes a strategic function in Global 2000 enterprises, the ability to access and utilize content stored in enterprise-wide content management solutions and deploy that content in learning content management systems becomes increasingly important," said Malcolm Hobbs, senior vice president of marketing at Docent. "This alliance provides a key advantage to organizations by delivering a comprehensive approach to the delivery of enterprise-wide content through value-added knowledge solutions."
