SUNNYVALE, Calif., Jan. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Interwoven, Inc. (NASDAQ:IWOV), provider of Enterprise Content Management (ECM) solutions for business, today announced that Network Computing magazine recognized Interwoven as a top provider of Web-based collaboration in a recent comparative review of collaborative workspace vendors. After thorough product testing in Network Computing's lab, Interwoven WorkSite MP was awarded high marks and beat a number of vendors, including Vignette, in the areas of configuration, navigation and approval and routing.

According to Sean Doherty, technology editor of Network Computing and author of the review, Interwoven "WorkSite MP provides a mature platform with a polished document-management engine." The review also recognized WorkSite MP for the product's "unique records-retention module."

Collaborative workspaces are increasingly used within enterprises to facilitate team-based processes, such as deal management, IT project management, contract management, and other initiatives where content management and collaboration are critical. Interwoven WorkSite MP provides enterprises with the foundation to streamline collaboration and document-intensive processes within practice groups, across geographically-dispersed offices and with outside parties. Designed to address the needs of business professionals with best-in-class ease-of-use, Interwoven WorkSite MP facilitates accelerated user adoption -- a significant problem for traditional document management and collaboration systems -- while also meeting the needs of IT by enabling enterprises to scale deployment across multiple initiatives, departments, divisions and geographies. Additionally, by providing integrated electronic records retention, the Interwoven WorkSite MP Records Management Server extends the value of WorkSite MP, enabling enterprises to address the increased control, oversight, and compliance initiatives with which organizations across industries are currently faced.
