Interwoven Brand Management Solution Helps Companies Increase Brand Value Through Greater Agility and Consistency
Solution Empowers Organizations to Optimize Content Across Web, Print, and Mobile Devices
SAN FRANCISCO, April 25 -- Interwoven GearUp 2007 Conference -- Interwoven, Inc. (NASDAQ:IWOV), a global leader in content management, today announced the Interwoven Brand Management solution. A powerful solution that allows organizations to optimize the moment when customers and brand content intersect, the Interwoven Brand Management solution enables organizations to manage, extend, and grow the value of their brands across multiple channels.
Companies of all sizes are constantly striving to build brand loyalty in today's increasingly fragmented marketplace. Success hinges on agility and consistency in communicating their brand promise or pledge to consumers across varying channels, as well as the ability to provide sales personnel, channel partners, and other constituents with up-to-date brand assets and marketing collateral. Most organizations today lack the technologies and processes necessary to support this goal, resulting in delays, inconsistent messages, and a less-than-optimal customer experience.
The Interwoven Brand Management solution builds upon over a decade of experience in helping the world's leading businesses project their brand promise to the Web, and represents the evolution of Web Content Management to address the content-related complexities of global, multi-channel brand management. The multi-channel delivery capabilities allow organizations to present a consistent customer experience across an ever-expanding array of customer channels, including the Web, print, and mobile devices.
The solution has three key components:
-- It helps companies establish a "central source of truth" for all customer-facing brand messages and assets.
-- It empowers business users to optimize and publish those messages and assets to the Web and other channels.
-- It provides sales teams and business partners with secure, self-service access to marketing collateral and personalized sales materials.
"As a global brand, Konica Minolta has traditionally maintained numerous websites serving our various regions," said Mr. Kozo Tsukada, manager, contents systems, solution division of Konica Minolta Information System. "Our Japanese office introduced the very powerful idea of consolidating all of our web properties under one unified technology, to improve operational efficiency. With Interwoven's Brand Management Solution, this vision became reality. We now have a centralized system for infrastructure and governance, but each region is able to contribute and meet its individual content needs quickly and efficiently. This has translated into significant time savings, and has resulted in a much stronger customer experience of our brand."
"Marketers today are both blessed and cursed by the sheer number of ways customers can interact with their brands," said Ben Kiker, chief marketing officer at Interwoven. "Without the right content management strategy in place, a golden opportunity for extending a brand can suddenly become a liability. Our customers frequently mention that protecting and growing the value of their brands is a top corporate priority for their business. With Interwoven Brand Management, they can deliver their brand messages consistently to all customer touch points with greater agility, translating to faster time-to-revenue and increased brand loyalty."
"Qantas uses the Interwoven Brand Management solution to manage a vast array of information and images for the Qantas brand across the globe, said Nicole Leeson, manager, online sales and distribution at Qantas. "It has enabled business areas to take more control and ownership over what they deliver, improving content accuracy and time to market."
