Interwoven Delivers ECM Solutions Enabling Business Agility
Interwoven, Inc., provider of Enterprise Content Management (ECM) solutions for business, announced that many of its customers across diverse industries have been selected for the CIO Magazine Agile 100, which lists those organizations best able to combine IT agility with business agility to adapt to rapidly changing business conditions. Interwoven is helping to enable this agility for many of its customers today.
According to Gartner's CIO Update, "Agility equates to nimbleness when managing transitions caused by constant business change, such as changing market conditions." (CIO Update: CIOs Need Better IT Service and Support Metrics, Kris Brittain, August 2004.)
For the 17th annual CIO 100 Awards, 100 organizations were selected wherein IT agility enables agility across the enterprise. The Agile 100 honorees structure their IT costs so that spending can flex with fluctuating demand. They use elastic staffing and sourcing methods to align their people and resources with changing business needs. They employ agile project processes. They create technological agility by regularly testing new tools and developing their employees' skills. The governance mechanisms of agile IT organizations are proactive. Most importantly, their IT agility supports and sustains organizational agility.
