Autonomy Announces New Million Dollar Revenue From US Intelligence Agencies

New agreements further Autonomy's significant penetration of U.S. Federal Agencies

Cambridge, England - 9 December 2002 - Autonomy Corporation plc (Nasdaq: AUTN; LSE: AU., Nasdaq Europe: AUTN), a global leader in infrastructure software for the enterprise, today announced that, further to its recently announced sale of infrastructure technology to multiple Federal agencies having homeland security related responsibilities, additional US government intelligence agencies have purchased its technology in deals worth over $1 million.

Numerous Federal agencies are already using Autonomy's automatic technology as a fundamental element of the U.S. Government's drive to combat terrorism. Autonomy's technology enables the automatic aggregation of content from a wide range of sources, including text, voice and video, and analyzes the concepts within them, delivering a highly intelligent infrastructure layer. Autonomy powers a range of real-time operations, including automatic categorization, classification and proactive alerting to relevant information, which simply could not be achieved with a manually driven technology. Because Autonomy's software is conceptual (and therefore not reliant on keywords), it assists agencies in uncovering suspicious activity by identifying patterns of meaning and relationships between pieces of data that may denote cause for concern. Consequently, government agencies are able to act upon information to prevent or minimize potential security threats. In addition, the agencies are using Autonomy to identify relevant experts within the intelligence services, driving a cohesive and effective anti-terrorist community, despite the disparate locations of the agencies concerned and the wide-range of data sources used.

"This new announcement further highlights that government agencies are recognizing the need to identify the key elements within the deluge of information they receive on a daily basis. Autonomy is proud to provide the information infrastructure that is enabling a wide range of government agencies to succeed in their objectives of ensuring cross-border security," said Mike Lynch, Founder and CEO, Autonomy.

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.
