AUTONOMY'S DIRECTED NAVIGATION HONORED WITH KMWORLD MAGAZINE'S 2004 "TREND-SETTING PRODUCT" RECOGNITION

Autonomy's Newly Launched Directed Navigation™ Selected as Winner

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. - September 21, 2004 - Autonomy Corporation plc (Nasdaq: AUTN; LSE: AU.) a global leader in infrastructure software for the enterprise, today announced that it has been selected as one of KMWorld Magazine's "Trend-Setting Products of 2004." Compiled and chosen by KMWorld staff, knowledge management analysts, vendors, and users, this selection honors products for their promise in the marketplace. Directed Navigation, the Autonomy module which enables users to easily integrate structured and unstructured information across the enterprise, was selected as a winner.

Autonomy's Directed Navigation delivers highly accurate results by guiding users through the navigation process to provide advanced real-time information discovery. Combining structured information from databases with navigational tools and advanced concept-based search, Directed Navigation offers a way for companies to integrate valuable information from structured databases with unstructured content. Combining information found within structured fields such as product name, size, manufacturer and sku, with unstructured content such as product description, allows users to search and find products quickly and easily.

"This recognition highlights the need for companies to manage the vast amounts of structured and unstructured information they generate on a daily basis and capture the knowledge that resides within this data," said Mike Lynch, CEO of Autonomy. "We are honored to be recognized by KMWorld Magazine for our innovative approach to information retrieval."

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.
