Autonomy Expands Global Operations in North America
Autonomy Establishes Operations and Signs New Partner Contracts in Canada
San Francisco - December 18, 2000 - Autonomy Corporation plc (NASDAQ: AUTN; LSE: AU., EASDAQ: AUTN), a global leader in infrastructure software for the Web and the enterprise, today announced the expansion of its North American operations in Canada, securing new and expanded partner contracts and establishing operations in Toronto.
Autonomy opened its first regional office in Toronto, headed by Christine Marshall, district sales manager of Eastern Canada. This expands Autonomy's business reach with the ultimate goal of increasing Autonomy's market share across North America.
"Business and technology companies in Canada represent a strong developing market for Autonomy. Canada is one of the most wired countries in the world with more than 50 percent of the population currently online," said Marshall. "Establishing partners in Canada is a natural extension of our business goals."
Autonomy recently signed a partnership agreement with NAME Inc., a leading Canadian Internet professional services company. NAME will include Autonomy's products as part of its portfolio of strategic consulting, project control and technology solutions. NAME recently acquired Contentra, which also incorporates Autonomy's technology as part of its e-business solutions strategies.
"With the incredible amount of content flowing through corporations, our customers' biggest challenges are organizing and processing this wealth of information," said Scott Collinson, NAME VP of alliances. "NAME and Autonomy provide a strong boost to our existing business practice by allowing our customers to track, deliver and personalize information at the right time, in the right context and to the correct people."
NAME joins TAP Ventures, a leading Web consulting company who first signed a distribution agreement in July 2000, as the first key partners to help Autonomy target Canadian markets. TAP, a consulting company focused on helping organizations exploit the power of the Web, specializes in Web-enabled service delivery, Web-accessible business intelligence, Web-based knowledge management and employee portals. TAP resells Autonomy's technology to build solutions that give clients the ability to organize, track and access internal and external information relevant to their business.
"OEM and partner agreements continue to be a core component of our successful, scalable business model," said David Appelbaum, Autonomy Head of Products. "The addition of NAME and TAP Ventures furthers Autonomy's global momentum and brings us immediate access to some of the best high-tech businesses in Canada and North America."
The addition of new partners furthers Autonomy's penetration into the Canadian market. Autonomy has already announced OEM relationships in Canada, including Delano Technology Corporation and Provenance Systems. Toronto-based Delano is a leading provider of e-business and eCRM solutions that enable intelligent electronic interactions between an enterprise and its customers and trading partners. Autonomy's technology is embedded in Delano's Knowledge Management Server and interprets and manages unstructured data received from e-mail messages, wireless devices, or Web-based forms. Autonomy enables Delano to offer its eCRM customers and partners a solution that provides control over business-critical data and the effective management of every e-business interaction.
Headquartered in Ottawa, Provenance develops the ForeMost line of electronic records management software, which provides organizations with corporate accountability for their electronic documents, electronic mail, and other records. Autonomy's infrastructure technology automates the categorizing, tagging and linking of documents and emails. Autorecords, the integrated solution, protects the important electronic records, and ensures they are destroyed or archived at the appropriate time, according to proper legislative and legal requirements.
