U.S. Department Of Defense Deploys Autonomy Portal-In-A-Box™ To Provide Personalized Portals For All Military And Civilian Personnel
San Francisco, Calif. (October 4, 1999) - Autonomy, Inc. today announced that the U.S. Department of Defense is deploying Autonomy's Portal-in-a-Box™ to provide personalized portals to all military and civilian personnel. Autonomy's Portal-in-a-Box™ software eliminates the need for costly manual labor in the categorization, tagging, linking and personalization of information for new media and enterprise portals.
The U.S. Department of Defense is using Autonomy's Portal-in-a-Box™ to make personalized portals available to all of its personnel. "We're using Portal-in-a-Box™ to help all military personnel stay up to speed on developments related to their jobs," said William Vass, director of technical services for the U.S. Department of Defense. "These portals will automatically draw information from thousands of Internet and intranet sites and create personalized sites for each individual. All users have to do when they register for the first time is use plain English to describe the subjects they are interested in. Autonomy's software does the rest." According to Vass, these portals will provide a valuable service. Autonomy's Portal-in-a-Box™ compiles abstract background information on an individual user and automatically locates information of interest from the web. It selects from thousands of internal and external information sources to deliver personalized information that the user either explicitly requests, or has previously shown interest in.
According to Autonomy CEO Dr. Michael Lynch, in spite of the proliferation of portal software vendors, most vendors do not offer the same degree of personalization as Autonomy. "Most personalization systems depend on having users fill out forms where they select topics of interest from a fairly limited menu. These vendors may claim that they are offering personalization, but because the subject categories are so general, what they are really offering is rudimentary customization. Keyword-based methods are no better," said Lynch. "Keyword-based technologies simply aren't as accurate as Autonomy's pattern recognition method. Users end up wading through lots of useless information because their system doesn't understand the context of the information they need. If personalization is important to your portal project, you would be hard pressed to find software as powerful as Autonomy's."
According to Lynch, the U.S. Department of Defense will be able to add breadth and depth of information without incurring the costs associated with manually preparing information for online publication. "By using our software to automate the sorting, tagging, linking and routing of information, they will be able to provide a valuable service to all military personnel, without the expense of hiring additional staff."
About Autonomy's Portal-in-a-Box™

It also enables companies to provide advanced personalization features, including personalized splash pages, news reports and alerts. By automating the categorization, hypertext linking, tagging and personalization of information, Portal-in-a-Box™ eliminates the need for costly and time-consuming manual labor.
About Autonomy
Autonomy's technology powers large-scale, personalized systems for knowledge management, enterprise portals, new media publishing and electronic commerce. Because of its ability to analyze any piece of text (independent of the document's language) and identify and rank the main ideas, Autonomy can automate a broad range of labor intensive tasks. These range from categorizing information by subject matter, to inserting hypertext links to related material, to profiling users based on the ideas in the text they read or write, to delivering information to those most likely to be interested.
Autonomy was founded in 1996 and has offices in San Francisco, New York, Washington DC and Boston, in the United States as well as in Cambridge, England and Oslo, Norway. Among its 150-plus customers are Alcatel, Associated Press, Barclays Bank, British Aerospace, Clorox, News Corp., Procter & Gamble, Lucent Technologies, Merrill Lynch, SF Gate, Semi-tech, The Royal Mail, Unilever and Xoom.com. In addition, several software companies are licensing Autonomy's technology to add intelligence to their online publishing, knowledge management, email routing and document management applications, including FutureTense, Intraspect, Verge, Aeneid, Global Recall, Insight and Nexor. On July 10, 1998, the company went public on the EASDAQ exchange.
