been huge manual overheads and have increased roll-out speed by up to 25 per-cent."
Interwoven TeamSite software will support HFC Bank's diverse and open architecture
by integrating content from various software applications that run on Microsoft
Windows NT. Other TeamSite features important to HFC include versioning of both

Web-based brands by merging new content, entered through templates, with the
elements that comprise the company's approved look and feel.
