Autonomy Included In Forbes Magazine's "Best Of The Web"
Forbes Joins Delphi, Giga and Ovum in Recent Recognition of Autonomy and its Market Leading Technology
San Francisco, Calif., October 7, 2002 - Autonomy Corporation plc (Nasdaq: AUTN; LSE: AU; Nasdaq Europe: AUTN), a global leader in infrastructure software for the enterprise, today announced that it is included in Forbes Magazine's "Best of the Web" issue, October 7, 2002. Autonomy was recognized as a company that enables key employees to have efficient access to the latest content, either using a unique adaptation of Bayesian algorithms, a mathematical probability theory to organize content like corporate documents, news articles, and e-mails based on pattern recognition or by leveraging existing legacy solutions.
Forbes joins leading analyst firms Delphi Group, Ovum and Giga Information Group, in recognizing Autonomy's market-leading technology. A recent Giga Information Group report highlighted the fundamental need for enterprise utilization of intelligent infrastructure like Autonomy's technology. Ovum research highlighted Autonomy's leadership in providing intelligent infrastructure technology and the analysis and management of large-scale, unstructured data sets and most recently, Delphi Group research cited Autonomy's leadership in taxonomy/classification and advanced retrieval technology.
Since 1999, Forbes has examined the most promising Web technologies in 22 industries that enterprises can profit from using. Companies were chosen this year by Forbes editors based on criteria related to company strategy, execution, financial staying power and the ability to solve important information technology and Web issues.
"Companies realize the importance of a knowledge and information management strategy, and as Forbes notes, they can look to Autonomy to gain efficient access to content and information," said Mike Lynch, Autonomy CEO and founder. "Forbes' recognition of Autonomy's technology and business further validates our leadership position in the industry."
Autonomy's unique intelligent data operating layer (IDOL) integrates unstructured, semi-structured and structured information from multiple repositories through an understanding of the content. Autonomy grants enterprises the flexibility to use advanced information retrieval or legacy-based approaches. At the heart of Autonomy's software is its ability to analyze text and voice and identify and rank the main concepts within it. It then automatically categorizes, links, personalizes and delivers that information. Autonomy's infrastructure technology is used to automate operations within enterprise information portals, customer relationship management, knowledge management, business intelligence and e-business applications, among others.
