SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. - November 3, 2003 - Autonomy Corporation plc (Nasdaq: AUTN; LSE: AU., Nasdaq Europe: AUTN), a leading provider of infrastructure software for the enterprise, today announced Pillsbury Winthrop LLP, a global law firm, selected Autonomy's infrastructure technology to power its enterprise-wide knowledge management portal. Pillsbury Winthrop LLP will use Autonomy's infrastructure technology to automate the retrieval, categorization and aggregation of information for more than 1500 employees in its 17 offices worldwide.

Formed in 2001 by the merger of Pillsbury Madison & Sutro LLP and Winthrop, Stimson, Putnam & Roberts, Pillsbury Winthrop LLP has approximately 800 lawyers specializing in litigation, technology and intellectual property, energy, capital markets and finance. Autonomy will provide the information infrastructure to automatically classify, retrieve and deliver information such as text documents, legal briefs, case histories, depositions, online news sources, email messages and other information sources, which are vital the to the Pillsbury Winthrop legal staff. This advanced information portal will increase efficiency by reducing duplicated work and the time and resources spent on compiling relevant documents.

"One of the key challenges for the legal profession is the vast amount of information, much of which is in unstructured formats, that must be gathered and analyzed in order to properly assess and strategize a legal case. Whether this information is found in emails, Word documents, Web pages or even voice mails, Autonomy's technology enables companies to automatically process and use it more efficiently," said Mike Lynch, CEO and co-founder, Autonomy. "Autonomy works for legal professionals across the world to make information resources instantly available."

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.
