Autonomy Chosen By GRC International To Help Power Electronic Government For U.S.

Automated Software Infrastructure will allow the Web site, FirstGov.gov, to streamline 100 million Web pages for American taxpayers

San Francisco-August 25, 2000 - Autonomy, a leading provider of Internet infrastructure technology, has partnered with AT&T's GRC International to help build FirstGov.gov, the U.S. federal government's Internet Web portal. In a first-of-its-kind Web cast address to the nation, President Clinton said the objective of FirstGov is to "give our citizens a single, customer-focused Web site where they can find every on-line resource offered by the federal government."

FirstGov.gov will gather information for U.S. citizens from 25,000 federal Web sites 24-hours-a-day, 7-days-a-week. The FirstGov.gov site is expected to launch in the fall and initially support more than 200,000 simultaneous users. By December, FirstGov.gov is expected to receive more than two million visitors per day.

The technology partners behind FirstGov represent an impressive cooperative effort among some of the nation's most technically advanced commercial companies specializing in Web development, communications and knowledge management. The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) selected AT&T's GRC International along with Autonomy, AppNet Inc., and Imigitas to provide the technical resources that will streamline the aggregation and navigation of 100 million Web pages.

Based on the Federal Search Foundation database of all publicly available federal Web pages, the GRCI-led effort will consist of an AT&T Web hosting center running on a Sun Microsystems platform; an efficiently designed, user-friendly interface developed by AppNet; numerous advanced features such as natural language search queries and communities of interest using Autonomy's software, with additional content and strategic direction provided by Imagitas.

"Incorporating the Autonomy technology was critical to GRC's successful selection by the GSA for building the FirstGov.gov project," said GRC Executive President and Chief Operating Officer Mike Stolarik. Autonomy's U.S.General Manager, David Applebaum said, "These partnership agreements reflect Autonomy's commitment to predominance in the U.S. government marketplace. Autonomy's technology, combined with the skills and experience of our partners, will immediately enable U.S. citizens to benefit from best-of-breed knowledge management solutions."

This announcement comes on the back of six major U.S. federal, state, and local government partnerships. Autonomy is also providing its intelligent software to the Department of Defense and NASA, among others.
