AUTONOMY TAPS "ANT INTELLIGENCE" TO TEACH APPLICATION INTELLIGENCE TO ENTERPRISE SEARCH
New Search Paradigm Incorporates Business Applications and Dynamic Data Sources to Improve Corporations' Access to Information
Cambridge, UK and San Francisco, Calif. – 7 November 2006 – Autonomy Corporation plc (LSE: AU. or AU.L), a global leader in infrastructure software for the enterprise, today announced the next generation of enterprise search, with the introduction of Intelligent Ant technology. This new search paradigm is the latest enhancement to the company's leading edge infrastructure platform, the Intelligent Data Operating Layer (IDOL). By complementing traditional spidering techniques with Intelligent Ant technology, Autonomy is significantly enhancing the quality and relevance of searches within the enterprise, enabling customers to receive real-time results from business applications and from dynamic data sources. Autonomy is the first vendor to deliver this technology.
"Nowadays, workers performing electronic searches want access to far more of the data available to their companies — and better technologies for delivering it," says Whit Andrews, research vice president, Gartner. "This new era demands fresh approaches to designing intelligent search systems and a new metaphor for the process of discovering, distilling and delivering information." Gartner published research written by Mr. Andrews titled When Ants Beat Spiders: Toward Better Enterprise Search Tools.
By incorporating Intelligent Ant functionality into Autonomy's IDOL platform, Autonomy is expanding what is searchable within an enterprise. This reaches far beyond static documents and relational database management systems (RDBMSs) to a wide range of corporate applications, as well as information on the World Wide Web. This ensures all relevant search results are delivered to users. Intelligent Ant technology is a software element that mimics the behavior of ants, traversing relevant business applications and data sources periodically so they know the best paths to take to deliver relevant results quickly.
"Now workers can automatically access virtually any source of information across the corporate network and the world wide web to get real-time results, all from a single, easy to use interface," said Dr. Mike Lynch, chief executive officer, Autonomy. "Automating the understanding of information contained in these data sources further delivers on Autonomy's vision of Meaning-Based Computing."
About IDOL
At the heart of Autonomy's infrastructure software is the Intelligent Data Operating Layer™ (IDOL). IDOL sits above an organization's data and serves as a platform for the conceptual and contextual understanding of information in an enterprise. This complete infrastructure layer allows for the automatic categorization, tagging, linking, retrieval and profiling of all forms of unstructured information in real-time regardless of repository. It automatically analyzes any piece of information from 1,000 different content formats, including text, voice or video and delivers over 500 functions including hyperlinking, agents, summarization, taxonomy generation, retrieval, channels, clustering, eduction, profiling, sentiment analysis, collaboration, and alerting.
The IDOL platform provides a flexible framework incorporating the essential attributes of an enterprise infrastructure platform:
Scalability - a linearly scalable system that can grow with the evolving information needs of an organization
Mapped Security - delivering document and intra-document access control against user, group and role level entitlement
Global Language Support - to enable the delivery of content in multiple languages
Support for Future Technologies - delivered through an architecture that is extensible and can grow and adapt to new requirements and technologies
