Deliver Timely, Relevant and Engaging Websites with New Capabilities for Interwoven Targeting and Interwoven LiveSite

To maximize online business performance, organizations recognize that they must provide a dynamic and compelling Web presence. More and more, customers are expecting a richer and more targeted online experience, and organizations need to be able to deliver timely, relevant content.

To help deliver the right content to the right customer at the right time, Interwoven highlighted new capabilities for Interwoven Targeting and Interwoven LiveSite that help unlock the value of online targeting strategies and customer data. The new capabilities include the following:

    Interwoven Targeting
    --  New capabilities that allow marketers to target content based on
        geography, date, time, clickstream, browser and operating system to
        deliver relevant content experiences to both known and anonymous
        Website visitors.
    --  For example, through testing and tracking, a car rental company could
        identify that Web visitors from San Francisco are more likely to
        respond to offers for special rates on convertibles on the weekends
        and visitors from New York are more likely to respond to offers for
        special rates on compact cars during the week. Using Interwoven
        Targeting, the rental car company could then deliver the right offers
        to the right visitors based on their physical location.


    Interwoven LiveSite
    --  Enhanced capabilities to allow marketing and IT teams to accelerate
        the delivery of dynamic content for a captivating customer experience.
    --  New tag libraries allow marketing teams to maintain control over
        sections of a Web page for targeted, dynamic promotions and content,
        while IT maintains the rest of the page in their existing portal or
        custom delivery environment.
    --  Ability to define search engine-friendly URLs and deliver SEO-ready
        sites. This allows marketers to create a tighter link between their
        search engine strategies and the content they deliver to visitors
        responding to search queries.

Optimize the Customer Experience with Enhancements to Interwoven Optimost

Marketers need to continually test and optimize their Website to maximize their online marketing investments. They are looking for proven ways for improving conversion rates, increase lift, and online revenue. Many organizations have begun to test content across their online campaigns, but marketing teams cannot address this huge challenge simply with manual or A-B testing approaches.

Interwoven has delivered important enhancements to the Multivariable Optimization solution, powered by Interwoven Optimost, to help customers identify the most compelling combination of content and layout to enhance customer engagement. The new capabilities include:

    --  Addition of internal Website search engine results to expand testing
        and targeting of content.
    --  Enhanced account "home page" to easily retrieve experimentation
        portfolios and related documents across the entire company.
    --  Customizable campaign consoles for Interwoven creative agency partners
        to view real-time results of their customer tests.

Interwoven is expanding resources to support the demand for Interwoven Optimost, including:

    --  Announcing today that seven leading interactive marketing firms --
        Avenue A | Razorfish, Digitaria, Earthbound Media Group, Molecular,
        One to One Interactive, Roundarch, and Stratigent -- have been
        certified on Interwoven Optimost.  See related press release
        http://www.interwoven.com/opticert.
    --  Recently announcing that Interwoven Optimost is now generally

"Businesses today are under immense pressure to transform their Web presence into an asset that engages customers and drives growth," said Joe Cowan, CEO at Interwoven. "The innovations we are highlighting this week at GearUp underscore our commitment to deliver the solutions businesses require to build next generation Websites that help them compete in a turbulent and shifting market. This is why the brands that drive the global economy continue to put Interwoven -- and content -- at the core of their online presence."
