Autonomy Selected As Core Infrastructure Behind Multiple Agencies' Information Aggregation, Analysis and Collaboration Programs
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. - October 21, 2002 - Autonomy Corporation plc (Nasdaq: AUTN; LSE: AU., Nasdaq Europe: AUTN), a global leader in infrastructure software for the enterprise, today announced that it will provide 21 agencies of the United States government with the core infrastructure technology for information collection, analysis, routing and retrieval. Up to 200,000 employees across various agencies responsible for homeland security functions will use Autonomy technology to more efficiently analyze, assess, and share information from multiple repositories related to suspected terrorist groups.
Using Autonomy's concept-based technology, government analysts and investigators will be able to use natural language to describe what they are tracking or what they have heard. Because the system analyses and understands the concepts within text, video and audio content, rather than relying on keywords, it is able to identify patterns or clusters of words that when combined together may signal code for dubious activities. With this powerful technology, employees will be automatically alerted to changes or developments within a wide variety of information sources. In addition, agencies will be able to identify experts knowledgeable about specific topics such as technology, geography, weapons and political regimes, within the government. This will enable the homeland security related agencies to monitor suspected terrorist groups and create a consolidated terrorist watch list.
The homeland security mission is to prevent terrorist attacks within the United States, reduce the country's vulnerability to terrorism and minimize the damage and recovery from any attacks that do occur by providing a robust and unified structure that can mobilize the resources of the federal, state and local governments and private sector. The Federal organizations responsible for homeland security are derived from all sectors of government including Defence, Commerce, Energy, Transportation, Justice, U.S. Customs Service, Food and Drug and Health and Human Services. Autonomy's technology has already been implemented within more than 30 Federal agencies including within the Departments of Energy, Defence, Education, Commerce, Labor and the IC community. Government offices with access to enterprise Autonomy software licenses as a result of this transaction include the Office of Homeland Security, Secret Service, Transportation Security Administration, Coast Guard, FEMA and the Department of State.
"Terrorist attacks are by their very definition unexpected and the key bits of information surrounding them come from a variety of unrelated sources. To help mitigate the threat to civilians it was critical that the Office of Homeland Security and related agencies implement an advanced knowledge sharing solution for its agents," said Mike Lynch, co-founder and CEO, Autonomy. "Autonomy is honored to provide the data fusion necessary for the homeland security mission to assist in effectively prevent potential attacks."
Autonomy's unique Intelligent Data Operating Layer (IDOL) integrates unstructured, semi-structured and structured information from multiple repositories through an understanding of their 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 process text, voice and video and identify and rank the main concepts within them. It then automatically categorizes, links, summarizes, personalizes and delivers that information. Autonomy's technology also drives collaboration across the enterprise and enables organizations to effectively leverage expertise. 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.
