Ericsson Rolls Autonomy out to 100,000 Users

Telecoms blue-chip expands global enterprise information system powered by Autonomy

CAMBRIDGE, England, January 16 2001 - Autonomy, a leading provider of software infrastructure for the Web and the enterprise, today announced a large-scale rollout of its technology by global telecoms blue-chip Ericsson, to create totally automated enterprise information systems for 100,000 users, both office-based and mobile.

The rollout builds on an earlier sale, in December 1999, in which Ericsson implemented Autonomy's technology to power the first phase of its enterprise information initiative. The technology behind the system is Autonomy's Portal-in-a-Box™, including the i-WAP product that brings Autonomy's intelligence to mobile applications, and the Active Knowledge™ product that "reads along" with users and automatically delivers conceptually related material.

Autonomy's technology will enable Ericsson to automatically aggregate, categorise, hypertext link, personalise and deliver information across the enterprise, to PCs, mobile telephones and PDAs. The information, which will be used to support business-critical decisions, will be drawn from multiple sources, including office documents, e-mails, the Web, intranet content, and newsfeeds, amongst others.

Dr. Mike Lynch, founder and Group CEO of Autonomy, commented: "What we are seeing with many Autonomy sales now is the all-important rollout stage, which is an outright demonstration not only of the technology's robustness and effectiveness, but also of its inherent scalability. We believe our technology is unrivalled in this respect, and we are pleased that Ericsson has validated this belief by its decision to expand its Autonomy user base."

At the heart of Autonomy's software is its ability to analyse text and voice (in any language) and identify and rank the main concepts within it. It can then automatically categorise, link, personalise and deliver that information. The technology is used to automate these operations within enterprise information portals, customer relationship management, knowledge management and e-business applications.

About Autonomy Corporation plc

Autonomy's infrastructure technology enables computers to understand a piece of text, Web pages, e-mails, voice, documents, video and people. Because of this unique ability, Autonomy's technology automates business operations on unstructured information, such as categorizing, linking, personalizing and delivering operations, which, to date, have been completely manual. Autonomy's technology powers any application dependant upon unstructured information including: e-commerce, customer relationship management, knowledge management, enterprise information portals and online publishing.

Among Autonomy's 390-plus customers are Alcatel, Associated Press, BBC, British Aerospace, Clorox, Reed Elsevier, News Corp., Lucent Technologies, Merrill Lynch, SF Gate, Reuters, Semi-tech, The Royal Mail, TF1, Unilever and the United States Department of Defense. In addition, many of the world's leading software companies license Autonomy's technology to add intelligence to their own products, in areas as diverse as online publishing, knowledge management, email routing and document management. These include Vignette, Sybase, Corechange, Brio, Delano, Epiphany, Filenet, Hyperwave, Insight, Intranet Solutions, Intraspect, KnowledgeTrack, Nexor, Novient and OpenMarket.

Autonomy was founded in 1996 and has offices in Boston, Chicago, Dallas, San Francisco, New York and Washington, D.C. in the United States, as well as offices through Europe, including Amsterdam, Brussels, Cambridge, Frankfurt, Milan, Paris, Oslo, and Sydney. In July 1998, the company went public on the EASDAQ exchange (EASDAQ:AUTN). Autonomy floated on The Nasdaq National Market (NASDAQ: AUTN) in May 2000, and on the London Stock Exchange (LSE: AU.) in November 2000.
