• Zürcher Kantonalbank (ZKB) - ZKB, Switzerland's third-largest bank, has selected Autonomy for an enterprise implementation that delivers automatically hypertext-linked information to employees to keep them fully informed of both internal information and industry- related issues.

Dr. Mike Lynch, founder and Group CEO of Autonomy, commented: "Regardless of industry sector, companies must face the fact that the amount of unstructured information in the enterprise is doubling every ninety days. Companies cannot afford to neglect their core business while manually managing this information. We provide a fundamental infrastructure technology that can be used in any industry to help enterprises automatically manage and leverage information. The banking industry is yet another vertical market that recognises the strength of our technology and the efficiency it promotes."

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.
