NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION SELECTS AUTONOMY TO POWER LICENSING SUPPORT NETWORK WEB SITE
Autonomy's Technology Expedites Evidence Sharing in Yucca Mountain Radioactive Waste Repository Case
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. - July 12, 2004 - Autonomy Corporation plc (Nasdaq: AUTN; LSE: AU.), a leading provider of infrastructure software for the enterprise, today announced that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), an independent agency that regulates civilian use of nuclear materials, has recently upgraded its existing Autonomy configuration to power its Licensing Support Network (LSN) Web site, LSNNET.gov. The upgraded configuration to the most recent version of the software adds new services that allow significantly expanded capacity. The Web site, built by AT&T Government Solutions, is dedicated to sharing discovery materials relating to the Yucca Mountain radioactive waste repository proceeding. Autonomy's technology will perform accurate and efficient retrieval of more than a million documents for numerous participants involved in the hearings.
Powered by Autonomy's Intelligent Data Operating Layer (IDOL) technology, LSNNET.gov provides a single place where the numerous parties and potential parties to the licensing hearing - including the State of Nevada, several Nevada counties, the National Congress of American Indians and various environmental groups - can share and search discovery documents in a uniform way. With Autonomy, concept queries bring back relevant information, as well as documents for which the user has not thought to search. This functionality makes Autonomy a precise and powerful tool that can sift through a massive amount of data quickly.
"Because it's being used in a legal application, there was a major focus on using a software product that ensures reliable results," said Dan Graser, LSN administrator. "Autonomy's language analysis and relevance ranking gained our confidence that the system is reliable and that it meets expectations for precise information delivery."
"With LSNNET.gov, the NRC has provided a valuable tool for document sharing in a complicated hearing," said John Cronin, vice president, Autonomy federal group. "Autonomy's technology is an integral part of expediting that process, given the number of documents and parties involved, and will positively impact the NRC's commitment to provide a level playing field for all involved in the Yucca Mountain radioactive waste repository case."
Autonomy's unique 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.
