Autonomy Unveils New Platform For Applications Using Unstructured Data
Leading Software Companies Adopt Autonomy's Cross Enterprise Infrastructure
San Francisco, Calif. (January 25, 2000) - Autonomy, Inc. today announced the Autonomy Content Infrastructure (ACI), a new technology that automates operations on unstructured information for cross enterprise applications. The Autonomy Content Infrastructure (ACI) allows leading enterprise applications to understand and route the business critical content that exists in unstructured formats, such as email, Web pages, office documents, and Lotus Notes.
The ACI utilizes Autonomy's core technology, which is capable of analyzing any text (in any language) and identifying and ranking the main ideas. This ability enables ACI to automatically conduct complex operations on unstructured information.
More than 30 leading software companies are incorporating Autonomy's technology into the next version of their enterprise applications for customer relationship management, e-business, customer care, email routing and security, content delivery and client-server systems. Vendors delivering ACI-compliant applications include OpenMarket, Oracle, Octane, Delano, Nexor and Intraspect.
ACI automates the process of understanding and routing all of a company's unstructured information between applications such as enterprise resource planning, knowledge management systems, corporate portals, customer relationship planning and email routing. For example, if a customer sent an email message to a company's technical support center about a product defect, the email routing system would first use Autonomy's technology to analyze the message. The customer relationship management system would then route it to the right technical expert for a response and alert the salesperson responsible for that account. Meanwhile, the knowledge management system might insert hypertext links to background information on the defect before passing the email message along to the product team responsible for developing the next version of the product.
By using the ACI, all types of software providers will be able to deliver the scalability, operating efficiencies and immediate responsiveness that drive today's e-business by operating on unstructured information. ACI does not require complex programming, extensive integration, business rules, or middleware. It also does not require information to be manually tagged, linked or categorized. ACI-compliant applications are immediately compatible through their common understanding of unstructured information.
Autonomy CEO Mike Lynch explained that traditional businesses were built on a foundation of structured information and database technologies that helped companies process and operate on vast amounts of raw data to automate transaction oriented systems like payroll, accounting, and inventory management. "Today's e-business requires extraordinary operating efficiencies and relies on content and unstructured information such as Web pages, news and email," said Lynch. "Our Application Content Infrastructure delivers a platform that enables enterprise applications to first understand, than act without human intervention based solely upon the content within unstructured information -- seamlessly and transparently. ACI delivers a platform which enables businesses to effectively make the shift from traditional business to e-business."
According to IDC analyst Gerry Murray, organizations must increasingly incorporate unstructured content into all of their information technology investments in order to remain competitive. "Sales systems, enterprise resource planning applications, help desks, call centers, inventory management, shipping, finance, human resources and others all contain information that is critical for individuals outside their primary user base," said Murray. "Integrating content across these architectural silos requires an automated, context sensitive infrastructure like Autonomy's."
