On the difference between [womotte1] and [womotte2]
[womotte1] is a Time phrase
meaning "at" - marks beginnings, ends, or borders between times.
It is often used as a greeting to お客 with the extended form をもちまして.
[womotte2] is the method by which you do something - victory achieved via effort, announcement made via a blackboard.

Both are formal, both are NOUN + をもって
