Interwoven's Focus on Matter-Centricity Drives Continued Industry
Leadership
Interwoven's ongoing legal technology leadership in Europe is largely
driven by the company's focus on industry-leading usability provided by the
company's Matter-Centric Collaboration solution for law firms. Based on
Interwoven WorkSite 8 software, the Interwoven Matter-Centric Collaboration
solution enables legal practitioners, for the first time, to manage client and
matter-related content in the electronic world the way they have done for more
than 100 years in the physical world. Legal professionals can consolidate
documents, records, e-mails, billing, contacts, and all other relevant content
for any given client or matter in a single integrated file that is accessible
both internally and externally across departments and locations. As a result,
Interwoven is providing the industry's most complete solution for law firms to
manage critical content, enhance client and business relationships, enable
efficient collaboration over distance, and improve lawyer and staff
utilization.
In fact, LegalIT, a leading online IT publication for European law firms,
recently published an article ("Vendor Speak -- Face-to-Face Service," October
6, 2005) highlighting Interwoven's increasing market leadership and
competitive replacement track record: "Interwoven's unique customer-facing
strategy has put it far ahead of its competitors . . . [the company] is
gaining new sites and winning business by way of competitive swap-outs from
firms who had previously been running rival DMS products." The publication
attributes this success to Interwoven's leadership in providing a true
matter-centric solution: "Along with the steady expansion of Interwoven's
product portfolio -- from the original WorkSite document management software
and on to matter-centric document management, e-mail management, disconnected
working and records management systems -- the company has ensured that its
products keep abreast of the broader trends and developments within the legal
market . . . Matter-centric document management has been a buzzword in the
legal world for some time, but Interwoven was one of the first suppliers to be
able to actually deliver a solution to address this issue."
Interwoven European law firm customers continue to validate the company's
matter-centric collaboration leadership with strong solution adoption. Said
Derek Southall, partner and head of strategic development at Wragge & Co:
"Effective IT systems and products are central to our ability to offer clients
the best possible service. Choosing Interwoven WorkSite 8 as our document
management system fits with this strategy and allows our lawyers to work more
efficiently and productively, which adds up to improved service delivery."
Brodies, a leading Scottish law firm, is also leveraging Interwoven's
matter-centric collaboration approach for increased productivity: "We see
Interwoven WorkSite 8 as a central part of our matter-centric collaboration
strategy moving forward. By adopting this next-generation content environment,
we can further empower our lawyers to provide more rapid and high-quality
service to our clients and maintain effective control over the rising volume
of content -- particularly e-mail -- that their work involves," said Andrew
Powell, IT Director, Brodies.

Interwoven and Microsoft Deliver Tightly-Integrated Solutions for Law
Firms
Interwoven also continues to expand its legal market leadership through
key partnerships, including its recently-expanded partnership with Microsoft.
By working more closely together, the two companies are delivering tightly
integrated end-to-end ECM solutions that enable lawyers, and others in the
professional services industry, to manage the entire content lifecycle through
the tight integration of the Interwoven Matter-Centric Collaboration solution
with the Microsoft platform.
Delivering on this deepened partnership, Interwoven announced in August a
new integration with Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2003, enabling legal
professionals to easily access the Interwoven Matter-Centric Collaboration
solution from within the SharePoint Portal Server environment. By integrating
with Microsoft technologies such as SharePoint Portal Server, Microsoft
Office, and SQL Server, Interwoven is enabling law firms to achieve more
seamless and straightforward implementations, while simplifying IT operations
and future development roadmaps.
"We see tremendous value for our firm in the strategic relationship
between Interwoven and Microsoft," said David Hamilton, IT director at
Freshfields. "We use both Interwoven WorkSite and Microsoft Office extensively
across our organization, and from an immediate perspective we are planning to
roll-out Microsoft Exchange Server 2003, Microsoft Office 2003 and Microsoft
Windows XP in combination with Interwoven WorkSite 8. Having our two main
software suppliers working even more closely together will make this a very
seamless and straightforward implementation and will help us simplify our IT
operations and future development roadmaps. This relationship is a winning
combination for customers."

Solution Innovation Transforms Legal IT
A key driver of Interwoven's legal market momentum has been its continued
legal solution innovation. In addition to the company's industry-leading
Matter-Centric Collaboration solution, Interwoven law firm customers are
benefiting from the following technology innovations:

-- Mobile Document Management -- In today's fast-paced environment,
lawyers need the ability to access information at any time, from any
location. However, until recently, they only had the ability to
download specific files to a laptop for remote use, but lacked the
ability to automatically access the entire matter file -- including
utilizing features such as check-in/check-out, versioning, and
search -- while disconnected from the network. With the Interwoven
OffSite module, Interwoven is the first and only vendor to currently
provide a truly portable document management offering, enabling
lawyers to experience robust document management and e-mail
management functionality when disconnected from the network.
-- Integrated Document, Records, and E-Mail Management -- Integrated
seamlessly with Interwoven's Matter-Centric Collaboration solution,
the company's new Records Manager 5.0 product enables law firms to
implement policies driven by regulatory compliance, such as the EU
market abuse directive, and better manage confidentiality and
privacy of client information across both paper and electronic
records. Together, the Interwoven Matter-Centric Collaboration
solution and Records Manager 5.0 provide law firm customers with the
industry's most effective offering to manage paper, electronic
documents, and e-mails within a true matter-centric collaboration
environment.

"Interwoven's momentum in the legal market reflects our strong commitment
to helping law firms succeed with critical initiatives like matter-centric
collaboration, e-mail management, records management, and improved client
service," said Chris Junker, general manager and vice president, legal sales,
Interwoven. "Our focus on modeling technology after the way lawyers actually
work, continually bringing innovative new solutions to market, and forging the
right partnerships, are the reasons why Interwoven has evolved into today's
leading legal technology provider, serving as the solution of choice for over
1,500 legal industry customers around the world."
