Audentify Singled Out For Its Technological Excellence And Vision

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. - December 17, 2003 - Audentify, a leading provider of next-generation contact center technology and a division of Autonomy Corporation plc (Nasdaq: AUTN; LSE: AU.), today announced that Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC™)'s Customer Inter@ction Solutions® magazine named Audentify as a Product of the Year winner for 2003. Audentify is the first technology in the contact center market to dynamically understand the content and context of telephone conversations as well as other customer interactions such as email in real-time to yield instant resolutions.

Developed by Autonomy, Audentify is designed to reduce call-handling times, increase the quality of customer interactions, monitor individual agent performance, analyze call-handling trends, and enable all calls and interactions to be recorded and made instantly searchable. Using intelligent data management capabilities and high-precision voice recognition, Audentify monitors and records calls or emails between agents and customers and automatically delivers agent assistance, analytics and identifies potential problems.

"We are honored that Customer Inter@ction Solutions has chosen Audentify as a product that is making an exemplary contribution to the call center and CRM industry," said Dominic Johnson, director of Audentify. "By automating the manual processing of email and voice data, this technology will bring a new level of efficiency and profitability to the contact center."

"Autonomy is a clear leader in the call center sector. We're proud to reward their hard work and innovation with a Product of the Year Award for 2003," said Nadji Tehrani, chairman of TMC and founder of Customer Inter@action Solutions®.

According to Customer Inter@action Solutions® Group Editor-In-Chief, Rich Tehrani, Audentify was selected because it has gone the extra mile to help improve both the customer experience and the ROI for the companies using it.

"Each year, Customer Inter@action Solutions® magazine bestows its Product Of The Year Awards on companies that demonstrate the crème de la crème of technological advancements and application refinements. Choosing the winners was a difficult process, and the editorial team spent many hours studying the applications we received from vendors, as well as looking through materials they collected on their own during the past year."
