Autonomy and Cognos Partner to Converge Results of Unstructured Information and Structured Data for Business Intelligence
In-depth integration provides BI users with instant visibility of trends using Autonomy's technology and Cognos Go! Search Service
Burlington, Mass. and San Francisco, Calif. - May 15, 2006 - Autonomy Corporation plc (LSE: AU. or AU.L), a global leader in infrastructure software for the enterprise, and Cognos (Nasdaq: COGN; TSX: CSN), the world leader in business intelligence and performance management solutions, today announced they have established a partnership and have developed in-depth integration that converges results of unstructured information with structured data for business intelligence.
Cognos enterprise customers collect unstructured information today such as customer feedback, complaints, and interviews through phone conversations, e-mails, word documents, and other sources that sit outside the scope of traditional databases. The integration of Autonomy and Cognos 8 BI provides instant high-level visibility, insight and analysis of an organization's business critical data. With Cognos Go!, enterprise users can now use concept-based search to quickly access the most relevant enterprise information. By detecting 'hot topics' in an organization's information assets and alerting users to new areas of information, informed business decisions can be made quickly and accurately.
"Customers have told us for four years that integrating all of their scattered information is one of their top three problems," said Sue Feldman, Research Vice President, IDC. "It is impossible to fully understand a business without pulling both data and content together in a single application. The integration between Cognos and Autonomy is helping a global medical device company to quickly identify product issues resulting from real-time analysis of customer complaints. This type of application represents the future of unstructured information's role in business intelligence systems."
"We've seen real world examples driving the need for this deeper integration of structured and unstructured information," said Patrick O'Leary, Vice President of Strategic Alliances at Cognos. "With the help of Autonomy and its unique automatic clustering capabilities, our customers will have instant high-level visibility into trends affecting their businesses from new sources of information inside and outside of the enterprise."
"Autonomy and Cognos share many common global enterprises and government agencies as customers today," said Stouffer Egan, Chief Strategy Officer of Autonomy. "This integration opens new markets for both Autonomy and Cognos. All of a sudden, the 'meaning' of thousands of customer communications that might otherwise sit in a database are understood and become actionable in the business intelligence software."
