Recognizing the evolving needs of the professional services industry, Interwoven, Inc., a global leader in content management solutions, is releasing an enhanced version of Interwoven WorkSite Mobility that empowers a greater number of mobile professionals to organize, find, and govern their business content. Previously available only for BlackBerry users, Interwoven WorkSite Mobility is now also available as a Web-based solution that will support any smart phone device with a browser including those using Windows Mobile, iPhone, Palm OS, and Symbian OS. Using the new mobile Web client, users can access Interwoven WorkSite files without any additional software installation on their device.
Recent studies indicate a growing number of organizations – over 75 percent – are placing increased priority on enabling a mobile workforce, including remote access to business-critical data and applications. Today, almost ninety percent of the top 100 companies in the US offer telecommuting as a way to increase personal productivity and job satisfaction. The extension of mobile access to business applications translates to improved decision making, faster access to critical business data and ultimately, better bottom lines.
Interwoven WorkSite Mobility enables users to access client files, collaborate with colleagues, manage email, and share information with clients through their smart phones. Interwoven WorkSite Mobility provides a fluid user experience that helps professionals locate and access the right content quickly for on-the-fly client interactions. Using a Web-based browser across all devices allows firms to maintain proper data hygiene and governance firm wide.
The smart phone market is rapidly developing to include a myriad of choices for the mobile professional. In the last quarter of 2007, sales of smart phones increased by 163 percent over the year before in the US. By providing anytime, anywhere access to business content through any mobile device, Interwoven WorkSite Mobility can play a pivotal role in an organization’s mobility strategy.
“What’s most important to us is that we now have a reliable way of retaining information relating to a matter in the one place,” said David Kelly, director of Information Systems at Morrison Cohen LLP. “People in our firm spend much of their working time away from their desks, so a centralized electronic matter file just wasn’t practical without smart phone integration. We chose Interwoven WorkSite Mobility because it enables our attorneys to locate, access, and file the right content immediately regardless of where they are located."
“Today, professional services firms are becoming more global and employees are spending more time on the road. The ability to provide mobile professionals with access to critical business content is an important component of what Interwoven refers to as ‘the firm of the future,’” said Neil Araujo, vice president of professional services industry solutions marketing at Interwoven. “By bringing key information access, document management, and email management capabilities to mobile devices, Interwoven solutions offer the flexibility to meet changing business dynamics, strengthens the ability to mitigate risk, and the mobility necessary to keep staff efficient and productive. Interwoven WorkSite Mobility’s advanced features allow client teams greater access to the critical content they need anytime and anywhere.”

Interwoven WorkSite Mobility will be generally available at the end of Q2 2008.
