Hyperion Joins Forces with Interwoven

Hyperion, a leader in business analysis software, announced an alliance with Interwoven, a leading provider of content management software and services for the enterprise Web, to empower leading Web-based organizations with deeper insights into customer behavior and preferences and help them turn those insights into tighter, more profitable relationships.

Under a development and marketing agreement announced, Hyperion will integrate Interwoven TeamSite content management software suite with Hyperion's eCRM analysis applications powered by Hyperion Essbase OLAP Server. The integration will help organizations to derive insights from large volumes of data generated by e-business transaction systems for online advertising, e-commerce, personalization, content management, and applications. These insights will allow marketing and sales executives to better understand and optimize the interaction of Web site visitors, by quickly evolving and managing Web site content based on buying and browsing patterns, new product and service offerings, and shifting market conditions.

"e-Business sites are most compelling when they can manage targeted campaigns and create customer intimacy," said Jeffrey Engelmann, vice president of product marketing and management for Interwoven. "This can be done by leveraging content contributors from across the organization to create targeted content with TeamSite based on analysis from Hyperion's business analysis applications."

"All e-Businesses are challenged with measuring the effectiveness of their Web initiatives in order to increase customer loyalty and drive revenues," said Mindy Fiorentino, vice president of marketing for Hyperion's e-business division. "Sophisticated business analysis is a critical component in Web platform deployment. Our partnership with Interwoven will offer an integrated solution to close the loop between creating, deploying and quickly adapting Web site content based on customer and visitor preferences."
