Enterprise-Class Content Management Software Improves Time-to-Web and Customer Service and Reduces Costs

Sunnyvale, CA and Vienna, VA, December 5, 2000 - Interwoven, Inc. (Nasdaq: IWOV) and Acumen Solutions, Inc. today announced the successful implementation of Interwoven TeamSite software to manage Nextel Communications, Inc. (Nasdaq: NXTL) Web site content. This enterprise-class content management software improves time-to-Web and customer service while reducing Web site maintenance and development costs.

Interwoven TeamSite's advanced workflow engine allows users to follow a customer defined process for creating, editing, testing and deploying content more quickly and efficiently. This software frees up Nextel's IT teams to focus on more complex development efforts while enabling Marketing staff to focus on the responsibility of managing Web site content. Additionally, the implementation of the XML-based TeamSite Templating allows Nextel to separate form from content. This not only makes content entry by non-technical contributors easy, it also will allow Nextel to repurpose content across multiple properties and to eventually output select content to wireless devices.

Acumen Solutions, a leading management and technology consulting firm for global telecommunications companies, used their extensive experience with Nextel's business processes along with their knowledge of Web development and customer care to integrate Interwoven's enterprise-class content management software into Nextel's Web architecture. This provided Nextel with a successful integrated solution to the challenges of managing Web site content.

"With fierce competition in the wireless industry, the ability to get information on new products, promotions and services to the market quickly and efficiently is critical," said Greg Santoro, vice president Internet and wireless services, Nextel Communications. "Acumen Solutions' deep telecom and systems integration experience coupled with Interwoven's innovative software allows our company to create and post content in a matter of hours, while reducing costs and improving customer service."

"Wireless companies are realizing that a broader range of their employees need to be able to easily add and change Web site content to keep their site timely and fresh," said David Joubran, president and CEO of Acumen Solutions. "Acumen Solutions' management and technology experience and industry knowledge teamed with Interwoven's flexible and scalable software gives Nextel the ability to manage their diverse Web-based assets and maintain fresh content on their site."

In future phases, Acumen Solutions and Interwoven will work with Nextel to enhance and expand Web capabilities in addition to the implementation of Interwoven TeamSite to Nextel's channel partner extranet sites and Nextel's corporate Intranet. Nextel will also offer WAP enabled content to their customers, partners, and employees.

"Acumen Solutions has quickly proven that they understand the needs of enterprise customers particularly in telecommunications. Their Nextel implementation work is a prime example," said Frank Skubal, vice president of channel solutions for Interwoven. "We look forward to working closely with them on future projects and drawing on their expertise in this industry."
