63% of Am Law 100 Rely on Interwoven Solutions to Drive New Levels of Compliance, Productivity and Client Service; Increased Adoption of Interwoven Records Management, E-Mail Management, and Mobility

NEW YORK, NY - LegalTech 2006 Conference (Booth # 2020) - January 31, 2006 - Interwoven, Inc. (Nasdaq: IWOV), provider of Enterprise Content Management (ECM) solutions for business, today announced that it continues to extend its legal technology leadership with more than 1,400 law firms, corporate legal departments, and other professional services firms worldwide relying on Interwoven's award-winning Engagement/Matter-Centric Collaboration solution to manage the complete client file including e-mails, documents, images, and more. Interwoven solutions for the professional services industry provide firms with a comprehensive approach for the end-to-end management of the client engagement lifecycle including: New Business Intake and Conflicts Management, Document Management (DM), Collaboration, Mobility, E-mail Management, and Records Management (RM). As a result, firms can effectively manage client files-from the time a client is first brought on until the final disposition of client records-within a single, unified environment.

Currently, 63 percent of the Am Law 100 firms (the definitive rankings of the largest American law firms) depend on Interwoven to address their everyday content management needs, an increase from 54 percent a year ago as leading firms continue to switch to Interwoven from competing systems. In fact, in 2005, over 40 firms-representing more than 19,000 seats-switched to Interwoven from competing systems. The growing number of firms that are switching to Interwoven reflect the company's strong reputation as a provider of the industry's most complete, dependable, and high performance content management solutions for the professional services industry.

Solution Innovation Transforms Legal IT

Throughout the past year, Interwoven introduced the following solution innovations to meet growing customer demand for solutions designed to help them achieve end-to-end management of the client file:

  • New Business Intake and Conflicts Management-Just yesterday, Interwoven announced the introduction of the Interwoven New Business Intake and Conflicts Management products, enabling professional services firms to achieve end-to-end management of client files-from the time a firm establishes first contact with a potential client to the disposition of that client file-within a single solution.
  • Mobile Document Management-In today's fast-paced environment, lawyers and others in the professional services industry need the ability to access information at any time, from any location. With Interwoven OffSite, Interwoven has become the first and only vendor to provide a truly portable document management offering, enabling lawyers to experience robust document management and e-mail management functionality when disconnected from the network.
  • Interwoven WorkSite for Microsoft SharePoint-Delivering on its expanded partnership with Microsoft, Interwoven introduced an integration with Microsoft SharePoint-Interwoven WorkSite for SharePoint-which extends the ease-of-use and ubiquity of the Interwoven Engagement/Matter-Centric Collaboration solution by enabling business users in the professional services industry to easily access Interwoven from within the SharePoint Portal Server 2003 environment.
  • Integrated Records Management-In September, Interwoven introduced the new Interwoven Records Manager 5.0 product, which seamlessly integrates with Interwoven's Engagement/Matter-Centric Collaboration solution. As a result, professional services firms can implement policies driven by regulatory compliance and better manage confidentiality and privacy of client information across both paper and electronic records. Together, the Interwoven Engagement/Matter-Centric Collaboration solution and Records Manager 5.0, provide customers with the industry's most effective offering to manage paper, electronic documents, and e-mails within a comprehensive matter-centric collaboration environment.

As a result of Interwoven's proven technology leadership, over 80 percent of Interwoven's professional services customers have adopted the Interwoven Engagement/Matter-Centric Collaboration solution-which is based on Interwoven WorkSite 8 software-to improve client service, reduce risk, lower costs, and streamline business processes.
