U.S. ARMY DEPLOYS AUTONOMY FOR ARMY KNOWLEDGE ONLINE PORTAL
1.67 Million Soldiers and Staff Benefit from Intelligent and Personalized Information Retrieval
San Francisco - June 21, 2004 - Autonomy Corporation plc (Nasdaq: AUTN; LSE: AU.), a global leader in infrastructure software for the enterprise, today announced that the U.S. Army has selected Autonomy's IDOL Server™ to enable intelligent information retrieval, categorization and personalization through the Army Knowledge Online (AKO) portal. AKO is the U.S. Army's single sanctioned entryway to agency-wide information and the largest corporate intranet portal known in the world. Autonomy enables 1.67 million active duty, reserve and National Guard personnel as well as family and selected guests of the Army, worldwide, to retrieve relevant data from across AKO. Global collaboration, in support of mission-critical projects and initiatives, with colleagues and subject-matter experts ranging from battlefield communications, training, tactical and operational Army programs and administrative processes, are all part of Autonomy's role in support of the AKO portal.
The AKO portal is a key initiative in the transformation of the institutional Army into a true network-centric, knowledge-oriented and capabilities-based organization, and is widely regarded as one of the most successful enterprise portal implementations in the world. AKO provides its users the ability to collaborate and stay in contact with official Army business, making it possible for them to make better decisions faster while wasting less time and effort on data storage and coordination. The expected results: reduced costs and wasted man hours, higher levels of performance, improved user experiences and enhanced ability to render quality decisions. AKO has selected Autonomy to enable the whole Army, officers and enlisted personnel alike, to share knowledge and work more effectively across the Web.
"We need our staff and soldiers to have information at their fingertips to make decisions that may be critical to our country's national security," said Lieutenant Colonel Kenneth Blakely, chief of AKO. "Autonomy retrieves the most relevant information so that Army personnel can spend their time analyzing data instead of searching for it. Autonomy's solution beat the competition in delivering a scalable technology that effectively connects our users to the information they need."
Autonomy's technology enables keyword and concept-based retrieval, automatic hyperlinking, personalized information delivery and automated categorization of electronic documents for Army personnel. Using Autonomy's IDOL Server, more than 1.67 million U.S. Army soldiers, staff, family and guests can set up personalized reports to track the information that is most relevant to their jobs. Autonomy enables the AKO portal to provide one point of access for information from file systems, Web sites, RDBMS, Documentum document management system, MS Exchange, newsfeeds and other Army sites. In addition, Autonomy enables AKO users to create powerful communities of interest to connect U.S. Army personnel with colleagues around the world who are working on similar projects or have relevant expertise.
"AKO is the single largest corporate intranet on the planet," said Mike Lynch, co-founder and CEO, Autonomy. "Autonomy's technology can automatically understand information in context and process it accordingly, regardless of the format. This means U.S. Army employees don't have to spend time manually adding, sorting and searching for information through the AKO portal. Together, AKO and Autonomy fortify the sharing of knowledge across the Army."
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.
