Intelligence Application to utilize Autonomy's Infrastructure Technology
Cambridge, England., March 3, 2003-Autonomy Corporation plc (Nasdaq: AUTN; Nasdaq Europe: AUTN; LSE: AU.), a leading provider of information infrastructure software, today announced a new agreement with the Italian Government in the area of protecting the security of homeland territories. The government has purchased Autonomy's IDOL platform including multimedia-handling capabilities for the automation of operations on voice and video data.
Numerous Government agencies are already using Autonomy's automatic technology, in particular within security applications. These include the US Government's newly created Department of Homeland Security, which comprises 200,000 employees across 21 federal agencies. 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.
The unique advantage of Autonomy's automatic approach was recently highlighted by Giga Group's Dan Rasmus, Vice President, Strategic Knowledge Initiatives, in his paper, "Autonomy Connects with Homeland Security" where he notes, "The other model [to Autonomy's], using a rules-based or explicit knowledge approach, is too costly because rules must be written with the assumption that things are known. In the case of Homeland Security, the investigators are looking not only for the known, but also for the unknown (new relationships) and rules cannot accommodate that."
Mike Lynch, CEO and Founder of Autonomy today commented, "We are delighted to announce this new sale of Autonomy's infrastructure technology which represents one of the largest applications of our technology. Autonomy is rapidly becoming the de facto standard for high level information management within security and intelligence applications. To date, Autonomy holds the impressive status of being used within more than 50 civilian, defense and Homeland Security agencies."
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.
