Industry Analyst Research Highlights Autonomy's Technology Over Legacy Rules-Based Only Approach
Report Praises Autonomy's Ability to Use Context in Recognizing Relationships Within Information and Cites Limitations of Rules-Based Approaches
San Francisco, Calif.-November 4, 2002- Autonomy Corporation plc (Nasdaq: AUTND; LSE: AU., Nasdaq Europe: AUTN), a global leader in infrastructure software for the enterprise, today announced that Autonomy has been recognized by Giga Information Group (For full report entitled: Autonomy Connects with Homeland Security by Giga Information Group, click here http://www.autonomy.com/analystpapers/GigaAutonomyConnectsWithHomelandSecurity.pdf.) for the company's recent announcement that it will provide 21 agencies of the United States government with the core infrastructure technology for information collection, analysis, routing and retrieval.
The research examines what can be learned from the use of Autonomy's technology within the United States government, most notably, how Autonomy's context-based approach can recognize unknown relationships within information to identify potential security threats. Giga Information Group Vice President Daniel W. Rasmus explains in this report that, "a rules-based or explicit knowledge approach is too costly because rules must be written with the assumption that things are known" and "would require constant rewriting to maintain an explicit view of what is known."
"This research recognizes the importance of managing unstructured data contextually, because it is a more scaleable and accurate method to deal with increasing amounts of information," said Richard Gaunt, chief technology officer and co-founder of Autonomy. "Autonomy's intelligent data operating layer (IDOL) provides that context, as well as the ability to bring together relevant information from disparate sources" he added
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.
