Ericsson Selects Autonomy for Enterprise Knowledge Management System
Telco giant will deliver business information to WAP-enabled hand-held digital devices through an enterprise-wide portal
December 22, 1999 CAMBRIDGE, England - Autonomy Corporation plc today announced that international telecomms corporation Ericsson has selected Autonomy's software to automatically deliver multilingual business information to its employees, using, amongst other methods, wireless application protocol (WAP) technology.
The information will be delivered across the entire organization in a number of ways, such as personalised intranet pages, automatic e-mail alerts of breaking news, and WAP transmissions, sent automatically to employees' mobile phones and other hand-held digital devices.
Ericsson will use Autonomy's Portal-in-a-Box™ product for the project, which will also personalise the information automatically, according to users' interests and areas of expertise. The information will be taken from a host of both internal and external sources, including the Web, the corporate intranet, and documents and e-mails stored on the company's network.
Spokeman from Ericsson, Lars Ostlund, commented: "Ericsson has key operations all over the globe. This technology gives us the ability to empower the expertise within those operations, as well as share information so that every employee in every department is kept fully informed of the developments which will impact on their business. They can even have this information pushed to their hand-held digital devices whilst they are on the move."
Dominic Johnson, Autonomy's Marketing Director, said: "Ericsson is a key company and the latest in a series of major corporations that have turned to Autonomy to help them meet an identified need for an automated information management systems. Businesses are realising that Autonomy's solutions for personalising and delivering information completely automatically - and now even to people on the move - are laying the foundations for a new Internet economy."
"Importantly Ericsson is playing a lead role in WAP-enabling PDA devices and we are delighted to be in partnership with such an important mobile communications player."
The sale to Ericsson was made by Autonomy Nordic, the Scandinavian subsidiary in which Autonomy acquired a minority interest earlier this year.

These range from categorising 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.
