Hyperwave Partners With Autonomy To Strengthen Corporate Portal Solution

Autonomy's Leading Technology Will Make Hyperwave Information Portal More Intuitive and Collaborative

Boston, Mass. (October 11, 1999) - Hyperwave Information Management, Inc. (www.hyperwave.com), today announced it will embed Autonomy's (www.autonomy.com) technology within its Hyperwave Information Portal (HIP), a new corporate portal designed to be the central workspace of the enterprise.

Because Autonomy's technology can automatically identify the main ideas in any text, it can automate many of the labor-intensive tasks involved in building a corporate portal. These include categorizing information by subject matter, inserting hypertext links to related information, profiling users' expertise and interests based on what they contribute and routing information to those most likely to be interested.

"We believe that for a corporate portal to be effective, it has to be a place where you not only access knowledge, but also share knowledge," said Gary McGrath, general manager of Hyperwave. "Autonomy's ability to put new documents in the right place as they're added, automatically insert hypertext links to related information, and create user profiles based on what people are contributing, will help make Hyperwave Information Portal one of the most collaborative portal solutions on the market. Adding Autonomy technology into the portal will make it easier for people to publish and find information based on not just keywords but concepts, and to find colleagues who have more information."

"By using our technology to automate some of the more cumbersome tasks associated with building a corporate portal, Hyperwave customers will be able to add depth and breadth of information to their enterprise portals without having to waste time manually sorting, tagging and linking information," said Autonomy CEO Dr. Michael Lynch. "Best of all, because we can also profile employees' expertise by analyzing the main ideas in the documents they contribute, employees can easily identify the right brain to pick or cast the perfect team for a new project."

In addition to creating a collaborative environment, HIP aggregates content from various sources and formats, making it convenient to find and utilize intellectual capital. It also creates time by eliminating the administrative nightmare of finding and fixing broken links between documents. This is made possible by the award-winning Hyperwave Information Server, on which HIP is built. The server extracts and manages hyperlinks between documents on its own, freeing Webmasters from the task of eliminating dead ends surfaced through the portal. The result is significant savings in administrative time and costs, as well as reduction of user frustration.Other benefits of HIP include self-publishing capabilities - another time saver for administrators - role-based interfaces, multiple server architecture, collaboration tools and much more.

A shrink-wrapped version of Hyperwave Information Portal will be available in Q1 2000. But for enterprises ready to benefit from the Hyperwave Information Portal today, a limited time "Millennium Launch Special" offers up to 60% off of projected list price and brings the per-user price of the portal to the sub-$50 range.
