UK Customers Recognize Interwoven Over Competition for Ease-of-Use, Fast Time to Value and Proven Firm-Wide Productivity
SUNNYVALE, Calif., – September 29, 2004 – Interwoven, Inc. (Nasdaq: IWOV), provider of Enterprise Content Management (ECM) solutions for business, today announced that it has won two prestigious awards in the annual e-LOTIES (Legal Office Technology Innovation Award), a technology award recognizing companies in the UK for the latest innovations in e-commerce, knowledge management and Web-based technology for the legal sector. Members of the UK legal community voted Interwoven the industry’s Best E-mail Management solution and Best KM/Information Portal Supplier, based on the company’s Interwoven WorkSite 8 software, the industry-leading document management and collaboration solution.
The e-LOTIES is a prestigious award backed by In Brief Magazine. Technology providers are nominated by customers, and winners are selected through online voting that attracts thousands of members of the UK’s legal profession. Interwoven’s success at the 2004 e-LOTIES reflects the company’s focus on strategic areas of concern for the legal industry, including e-mail management, knowledge management, document management and collaboration.
E-mail management is one of the most pressing issues faced by today’s law firms, as rising volumes of unmanaged messages and stricter retention requirements push existing practices to the breaking point. The e-LOTIES award for Best E-mail Management solution validates the importance of the Interwoven E-mail Management solution, which enables firms to leverage e-mail as a productivity tool rather than an organizational liability. By unifying e-mail with other documents into a single searchable repository, the Interwoven E-mail Management solution makes it simple to access, manage and share vital information, as well as contribute to knowledge management through the creation of a unified environment for both e-mails and other forms of matter content.
The e-LOTIES award for Best KM/Information Portal Supplier recognizes Interwoven’s pioneering work in matter-centric collaboration (MCC), a new user-centric paradigm for the legal industry, which is incorporated into Interwoven WorkSite, the industry-leading document management and collaboration solution. Matter-centric collaboration enables effective knowledge management by organizing all the information relating to a matter, including documents, e-mails, events, tasks and contacts, into a unified electronic matter file that can be accessed by global teams from any location at any time.
Unified search across all forms of content, including e-mails, boosts productivity and helps attorneys make effective use of available knowledge resources. Templates also allow firms to standardize on how matters are organized, supporting the use of best practices and making it simple for attorneys to leverage and re-use previous work product and expertise. “In today’s legal world, the ability to manage e-mail and matter content for knowledge value is a key competitive differentiator—the firms that can do so successfully will consistently triumph over those that can not,” said Dan Carmel, vice president and general manager, legal solutions at Interwoven. “We are very pleased to be recognized as the vendor of choice by the legal community for these mission-critical functions.”
