Interwoven TeamSite 6.0 Content Server

Interwoven Releases TeamSite 6.0 - The New Benchmark in the Content Management Industry

New Release Empowers Enterprises to Boost Workforce Productivity and Enable Faster, Smarter Decision-Making with an All New, Easy, and Customizable User Experience

Sunnyvale, California, USA. July 21, 2003.

Interwoven, Inc., a world-leading provider of content management for the enterprise, today launches Interwoven TeamSite 6.0 Content Server, extending content management access to all business users, and enabling them to maintain control and distributed ownership of content across the enterprise. With more than 1000 customers in production with the current content management product, Interwoven introduces the latest version of its flagship product within the Interwoven 6 Platform, a new interface framework that features an intuitive, customizable user experience designed to lower the learning curve and improve user efficiency.

Validated through extensive testing and contributions from hundreds of customers, TeamSite 6.0 sets the new industry standard for ease-of-use in content management. With a unified user experience, TeamSite 6.0 ultimately extends the benefit of content management across the enterprise by enabling faster time to market, increased workforce productivity, and better decision-making.

"Creating a system that can be used by contributors at all technical skill levels has been a challenge for CMS vendors," said Andy Warzecha, senior vice president, META Group, Inc. "Business users in particular need an interface that's intuitive and doesn't force them to learn a new way of doing everyday business. Only by providing interfaces that serve business users can a CMS system rise to its full potential as an essential business tool that streamlines processes and ensures the rapid, accurate deployment of content to various eBusiness initiatives enterprise-wide."

What's New: Interwoven Delivers Breakthrough User Experience with TeamSite 6.0

ContentCenter: Redesigned user experience for the Interwoven 6 platform.
ContentCenter Standard: The industry's first all-new business user interface featuring fully customizable, portal-style content management components for streamlined content contribution by casual contributors and approvers, subject matter experts, and line of business managers. Out-of-the-box components feature a forms component, streamlined content browsing, configurable online help, favorites, modified content, and a job management component.
ContentCenter Professional: An all-new power user interface featuring a comprehensive set of content management features for advanced users, Web masters and administrators including branching, workflow, virtualization, versioning, security, and an open interface for any authoring tool integration.
FormsPublisher: An all-new templating user interface that's customizable on a per-form basis featuring in-context help capabilities, task shortcuts, content containers and enhanced XML format support.
ContentServices User Interface Toolkit: An all-new toolkit that underpins ContentCenter allowing for rapid, easy and consistent user interface customizations as well as facilitating the creation of completely new customer interfaces. The Tooklit ensures that all customizations are preserved for future upgrades. The Toolkit is a core element of Interwoven's Services Oriented Architecture strategy. See today's press release.
Native support for IBM and BEA application servers: TeamSite 6.0 will enable enterprises to leverage IBM and BEA application servers to power Interwoven client applications using a J2EE framework.
