SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. - GearUp 2002 Conference - October 29, 2002 - Interwoven, Inc. (Nasdaq: IWOV), a world leader in Enterprise Content Management (ECM), today announced that IBM's (NYSE:IBM) externally facing ibm.com site has completed a successful implementation using Interwoven TeamSite software to manage content for 120,000 online products to reach its global customer base.

"ibm.com consists of multiple audience specific portals and therefore IBM needed the ability to scale to the demanding needs of customers and employees," said Steve Russo, manager of advanced eBusiness technology, BT/CIO at IBM. "Interwoven TeamSite, in conjunction with IBM's WebSphere software, are providing our content contributors with global usability and scalability by allowing all employees to contribute using tools they are familiar with. Interwoven's strengths in functionality such as versioning, previewing, deploying both file, and database content make it easy for all employees to be content contributors."

Why IBM Selected Interwoven Content Management:
- Openness: Interwoven easily integrates with IBM WebSphere Suite and DB2.

- Scalability: Interwoven supports thousands of product pages from thousands of contributors located within many business units around the world.

- Usability: Interwoven XML based TeamSite Templating software allows for all content contributors, regardless of technical ability, to easily add content in a visual and intuitive manner.
