Autonomy Wins Repeat Business In Pharmaceutical Sector
Leading Pharmaceutical & Medical Companies Purchase Autonomy to Extend Existing Autonomy Enterprise Deployments and to Launch New Autonomy-Powered Web service.
CAMBRIDGE, England, 27 December 2001 - Autonomy Corporation plc (Nasdaq: AUTN; LSE: AU., Nasdaq Europe: AUTN), a global leader in infrastructure software for the enterprise, today announced a series of repeat customer wins in the pharmaceutical and medical sectors, including: Astra Zeneca with three further Autonomy deployments in Europe and North America, extensions to a European implementation earlier this year; Pfizer with a new deployment of Autonomy in Europe, an addition to a previous North American purchase; and Onmedica a new Web-based Autonomy- powered service for doctors and health service suppliers in the UK.
Last year, Astra Zeneca selected Autonomy Server™ for its Product Knowledge Transfer, a major knowledge management project. Autonomy's infrastructure software was integrated into an information portal to automatically aggregate, index and provide access to a wide range of content from legacy systems, publications databases, competitor databases, clinical trials databases and information from the Web. Confirming the subsequent success of their initial deployment, Astra Zeneca has now purchased three additional extensions to their existing deployment in order to support up to 9000 users and meet growing information processing requirements, bringing the total number of Autonomy purchases to four.
Pfizer Sweden recently purchased Autonomy's Portal-in-a-Box™, Autonomy ActiveKnowledge™ and Autonomy Categorizer™ for a business intelligence portal and will conduct a joint implementation of Autonomy's software within Sweden and the UK. Autonomy's infrastructure technology was selected to provide access to the organization's collective resources and enhance Pfizer's world-class information analysis, information exploitation and business intelligence process. With Autonomy, Pfizer Sweden and UK employees will be able to set up personalized agents to track the information that is most relevant to their jobs as well as identify fellow employee's expertise for collaboration. This deployment is additional to a previous deployment of Autonomy in Pfizer in North America.
According to Lynch the pharmaceutical and medical industries are knowledge-rich environments with rapidly changing information that is vital to research, treatment and practises. "Four out of the five leading pharmaceutical companies use Autonomy's technology to power information systems that provide their employees with better access to critical information," said Lynch. "Our increased penetration into this market is a continuing validation of both our technology and our business model."
Finally, Onmedica, a Web-based service for doctors and health service suppliers in the UK, selected Autonomy's technology to automate the delivery of information. Using Autonomy, Onmedica will enable the health service to lower costs and enhance clinicians' ongoing education, by taking clinical, pharmaceutical and product information from multiple sources and automatically performing critical processes on it - such as categorisation, hypertext linking to related information, personalisation to each user's individual needs and identification of other users with similar interests and expertise.
The high degree of automation means that no manual labour is needed to organise the information; the fact that doctors with similar interests and expertise can be automatically put in touch with each other eliminates duplication of research effort; the automatic linking of medical information with details of appropriate products (drugs, prosthetics, dressings) shortens procurement cycles.
Dr. Mike Lynch, founder and group CEO of Autonomy, commented: "Under-funding has dealt a huge blow to clinical education and procurement in this country and Autonomy enables Onmedica to redress that imbalance. Subscription to the Onmedica service will, we believe, quickly pay for itself in terms of the time, knowledge and economies gained. The service is also a valuable marketing channel for pharmaceutical companies. We are pleased to welcome Onmedica to a global clinical and pharmaceutical clientele list that already includes names like Akzo Nobel, Astra Zeneca and Novartis."
At the heart of Autonomy's software is its ability to analyse text and voice and identify and rank the main concepts within it. It can then automatically categorise, link, personalise and deliver that information. Using Autonomy, the information that applications need becomes independent from the data source. This ability to universally interrelate disparate applications, without the need for middleware or XML, is known as Integration Through Understanding; the technology behind it is Autonomy's Interactive Data Operating Layer (IDOL). The technology is used to automate operations within enterprise information portals, customer relationship management, knowledge management and e-business applications, among others.
