Open Market Partners With Autonomy To Provide Advanced Personalization For E-Business
BURLINGTON, Mass. - November 17, 1999 - Open Market, Inc. (NASDAQ: OMKT), the market share leader in Internet commerce software, today announced that it will embed Autonomy's technology into its newly integrated IPS content management application and Transact commerce management systems. With Autonomy's advanced pattern recognition technology, Open Market customers will be able to provide advanced levels of personalization that will attract and retain online consumers.
In addition to providing advanced personalization, Autonomy's technology automates a broad range of otherwise labor-intensive tasks. That's because Autonomy's technology can automatically identify and rank the main ideas in a piece of text, regardless of its language. These tasks range from categorizing information, to inserting hypertext links to related material, to profiling users based on the information they read and submit to an e-business site, to delivering information to those most likely to be interested.
Open Market CEO Gary Eichhorn stressed the advantages of licensing Autonomy's software. "Open Market already offers its customers some of the most powerful technology available for content and commerce management. By adding Autonomy's technology to our offering, our customers will be able to personalize splash pages to attract specific individuals, offer personalized news reports with real-time alerts, and route and respond to customer inquiries - all automatically," said Eichhorn. "In addition, Open Market customers can add stickiness to their site by creating communities of interest and add value to advertisers by targeting ads and promotions to those individuals most likely to be intrigued."
Eichhorn explained that many vendors may claim that they are offering personalization, but at best it's a form of crude customization. "Most systems force users to choose from a pre-selected menu of topics. These categories tend to be very general, which means you can't get the same level of granularity that you can with Autonomy," said Eichhorn. "With Autonomy's advanced pattern recognition technology, a user interested in men's outerwear in the North East Region of the United States can set up a report to track that specific subject. The user will automatically receive an article about the shortage of men's leather coats in Vermont and the growing demand for polar fleece jackets in New Hampshire. On other sites, he would have to choose from preset categories like 'apparel' or 'leather coats' or wade through the results of inaccurate keyword searches."
Autonomy CEO Mike Lynch further explained that Autonomy's technology was designed to expertly manage and deliver information and commerce services online. "By using Autonomy's technology to completely automate some of the most labor-intensive tasks associated with e-business Web sites, Open Market customers will be able to deliver personalized content without having to hire additional staff to categorize, tag, link and personalize vast volumes of content."
