Metastorm and Interwoven Strengthen Technology Partnership
Companies provide integrated business process management and enterprise content management solution to customers worldwide
COLUMBIA, MD - March 29, 2006 - Metastorm, a leading provider of Business Process Management (BPM) software for modeling, automating, integrating, and improving both human and system-based processes, today announced that it has strengthened its relationship with Interwoven, Inc. (Nasdaq: IWOV), provider of Enterprise Content Management (ECM) solutions for business through a formal technology partnership and the development of a packaged integration adaptor that is fully supported by both companies. Joint customers can take advantage of the integrated solution to seamlessly combine process flows and content to gain greater control of business processes and visibility into the underlying content.
Metastorm and Interwoven have been working together for several years, helping joint customers integrate the companies' technologies for better documentation of business processes, improved efficiency, and visibility into important company data and metrics. The formalization of the partnership has resulted in the development of a packaged integration adaptor that is available from and supported by both companies.
Doug Caddell, CIO of Foley & Lardner, an existing customer of both Metastorm and Interwoven said, "The partnership between Metastorm and Interwoven is a solid demonstration of two key technologies coming together to further enhance the customer experience."
"Interwoven is committed to providing our customers with end-to-end and easy-to-use solutions that they can put in place for immediate business value, such as improving processes, enhancing client service, and reducing costs," said Neil Araujo, VP, professional services solutions for Interwoven. "Partnering with other leading technology providers like Metastorm enables us to continue delivering on this commitment, and we're looking forward to working closely with Metastorm to empower customers to achieve a new level of productivity and operational efficiency."
The integration of Metastorm BPM™ with Interwoven WorkSite document management software provides a seamless experience for users, giving them the ability to access, manage, and store documents from one of three interfaces: Metastorm BPM, Interwoven WorkSite, or Microsoft SharePoint. As a result, customers can more easily manage content within a business process and route critical business documents to geographically dispersed project teams for review, approval and publishing. The combination of Metastorm and Interwoven technology will provide long-term business value for customers including:
Increased control: Users can achieve increased visibility into and control over their organization's processes and into the valuable enterprise content behind the process;
Greater visibility and insight: Users can also track project status, identify bottlenecks, analyze key metrics, detect exceptions, and improve the execution of key business processes across the organization;
Tangible operational results: Seamless content and process integration enable organizations to achieve reduced costs, improved efficiency, and enhanced employee productivity with fewer errors;
Synchronization of process and content: The transparent integration between Metastorm BPM and Interwoven WorkSite enables users to access and manage content and process controls from either product, as well as easily navigate between the two products, resulting in the alignment of process and content for greater results.
"We recognize Interwoven as a true enterprise content management solutions leader and we're enthusiastic about the new opportunities this relationship brings to the market," stated Robert Farrell, president and CEO of Metastorm. "The combination of BPM and ECM facilitates team-based collaboration on document-intensive processes in a controlled manner enabling our joint customers to deploy a complete solution for effective process management, generating increased opportunities for greater productivity and collaboration enterprise-wide."
