Docent and Interwoven Partner to Drive Enterprise-wide Knowledge Solutions
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – March 19, 2002 –
Docent Inc. (NASDAQ: DCNT), the premier provider of eLearning software for Global
2000 companies, and Interwoven Inc. (NASDAQ: IWOV), the leader in enterprise
content management, today announced an alliance to improve the way knowledge
is created, managed, and delivered in large enterprises. Through the alliance,
Docent and Interwoven customers are able to converge an organization’s enterprise
content strategy with its eLearning strategy to deliver measurable improvement
in key business metrics such as increased revenue, decreased costs, and improved
customer satisfaction.
By integrating Docent Enterprise eLearning applications with Interwoven
TeamSite content management software, customers can form an enterprise-wide
content management infrastructure for knowledge exchange and more easily leverage
information residing in content repositories. As a result, companies are better
equipped to solve business problems and deliver the right information to the
right person at the right time.
"Docent’s unique expertise in the development and delivery of enterprise-wide
learning solutions is an excellent match for our extensive enterprise content
management and deployment solutions," said Max Carnecchia, vice president
of Interwoven’s worldwide alliances. "Our joint customers can now leverage
their existing enterprise content to help provide additional business value."
Interwoven has already successfully deployed Docent’s eLearning solutions throughout
its own organization to deliver an extensive array of learning experiences to
employees and partners and provide learning programs with key enabling knowledge
and information concerning its products and services.
The Value of a Broader Content Management Approach
Enterprise eLearning and content management are two areas that are becoming
increasingly important as organizations look to deploy eLearning capabilities
on an enterprise-wide basis that integrate internal solutions such as content
management. The ability to easily leverage the organization’s content assets
into multiple learning experiences continually extends the value of that content.
Consequently, companies can implement a comprehensive content strategy to improve
learning, knowledge and information transfer for a strategic business advantage
and organizational effectiveness.
"As eLearning becomes a strategic function in Global 2000 enterprises,
the ability to access and utilize content stored in enterprise-wide content
management solutions and deploy that content in learning content management
systems becomes increasingly important," said Malcolm Hobbs, senior vice
president of marketing at Docent. "This alliance provides a key advantage
to organizations by delivering a comprehensive approach to the delivery of enterprise-wide
content through value-added knowledge solutions."
