Interwoven's Focus on Client-Centric Collaboration Drives Continued
Industry Leadership
Interwoven's strong momentum in the accounting industry is largely driven
by the company's unique focus on client-centric collaboration. Based on
Interwoven WorkSite software, the Interwoven Unified Electronic Content
Management Solution for Accounting Firms provides a unique paradigm for
managing documents known as client-centric collaboration. Client-centric
collaboration represents a user-centric design, which enables accounting and
other professional services practitioners to manage client-related content in
the electronic world the way they have done for more than 100 years in the
physical world. The approach creates the true electronic equivalent of a
client file by consolidating documents, e-mails, records, billing, contacts,
and all other relevant content for any given client in a single integrated
file that is accessible both internally and externally across departments and
locations. Today, over 1,400 professional services firms rely on Interwoven
Worksite software. By aggregating all critical business content into
client-centric work areas, accounting professionals can quickly view all
content -- such as documents, completed financial statements, engagement
letters, scanned documents, and e-mails -- alongside critical dates, actions,
and billing data in one unified environment. Additionally, the Interwoven
solution can facilitate automated workflow so firms can ensure that the right
content is automatically routed to the right individuals for review and
approval.
"Interwoven's strategy and key focus is to provide highly-targeted ECM solutions that are based on proven industry best practices to help customers realize immediate ROI from their ECM implementations," said Neil Araujo, vice president, professional services solutions, Interwoven.
