Interwoven, Inc. and Netegrity, Inc. announced an alliance and planned integration of their two products. The joint offering will provide a solution for portal and B2B infrastructure beyond the four walls of the enterprise, allowing customers, suppliers, partners, and employees to contribute and manage their content in an efficient and effective manner. Together, Interwoven TeamSite software and Netegrity’s SiteMinder platform will enable enterprises to streamline the content collaboration and content management processes for portal users and marketplace participants. Netegrity’s single sign-on offers the capability for all portal users to be automatically logged into TeamSite and be provided the proper roles and permissions to contribute content to the Web site. Portal users are then able to avoid logging into the portal multiple times and ultimately have a more efficient user experience. www.netegrity.com, www.interwoven.com
