NEW YORK, NY - AIIM Conference & Expo 2004 -Booth #1137- March 8, 2004 - Interwoven Inc. (Nasdaq: IWOV), the world's next-generation enterprise content management (ECM) company, today announced the industry's first suite of effective solutions for Marketing Content Management (MCM), providing a more efficient way for organizations to create, manage, distribute, and publish marketing content. At the heart of Interwoven's Marketing Content Management Solutions Suite is MediaBin Asset Server 4.0 software, the leading digital asset management system used by marketing teams across the globe (announced today http://www.interwoven.com.tw/news/press/2004/030804mb4.html). The solutions make it easy for companies to facilitate and control the real-time distribution of marketing content to front-line sales staff, and to customize content to meet the needs of specific prospects, distributors, and local markets around the world.

"Marketing is the final frontier for major process efficiency gains. Marketing is the last major business function that has not reengineered its core processes to take advantage of technology that can slash time, costs and waste and improve the quality of its operation." (AMR Research Outlook Report, "Automation: The Future of Marketing in an Era of Corporate Accountability," May 9, 2003).

The challenge of brand stewardship-the systematic development, management, and maintenance of brands-is now complicated by the need to manage and adjust brands on a global basis. Further complicating the situation are complex sales channels consisting of direct and multi-tiered distribution, an explosion of communication channels from print to Web to mobile devices, and ever-contracting product release cycles.

Interwoven partners with category leaders, which include customers that make up the majority of BusinessWeek's Top 100 Global Brands. Focused on increasing marketing share, these companies use their brands, new product introductions, and promotions as fuel for that growth. Marketing Content Management is at the core of each of these activities, and Interwoven's MCM solutions enable enterprises such as Cole Haan, Harrah's Entertainment, and Binney & Smith (makers of Crayola crayons) to promote their products in multi-channel marketing programs while protecting the integrity of their corporate brand.

"Fierce competition continues to drive companies to launch products and promotions faster and to invest more resources in their brand," said Steve Kimball, general manager, Marketing Solutions, for Interwoven. "To facilitate effective brand stewardship, marketing organizations need solutions that enhance the development and distribution of marketing content. Interwoven is uniquely positioned to deliver the industry's richest Marketing Content Management solutions to address these challenges."

Interwoven's solutions offer self-service access to brand and marketing materials, and create collaborative workspaces where marketing contributors build and execute marketing programs. Additionally, by facilitating the flow of marketing content within and beyond an organization, Interwoven's Marketing Content Management Solutions represent an important step towards the company's vision of Content Networks-a new paradigm for managing content-ensuring that brand-related digital content is always properly formatted and up-to-date throughout the marketing content supply chain.
