This union draws on both companies' expertise in helping organizations manage and use information more effectively and to streamline collaboration and business operations.
Organizations face the common challenge of effectively managing an unprecedented amount of data in the current business environment.

"With Autonomy we now provide a compelling knowledge management solution for our government and commercial clients," said Dave Truitt, President, MicroLink, LLC. "Autonomy's technology enables our customers in the DoD, Intelligence Community, and other national security related agencies to achieve enterprise-wide horizontal integration thus increasing productivity, efficiency, and ROI."

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.
