AUTONOMY AUTOMATES COMPLIANCE GUIDANCE AND ENFORCEMENT WITH AUNGATE
New Aungate Module Helps Companies Meet Regulatory Requirements and Employee Behavior Policies
Cambridge, UK and San Francisco, Calif. - Dec. 6, 2006 - Autonomy Corporation plc (LSE: AU. or AU.L), a global leader in infrastructure software for the enterprise, today announced a world first in automating processes that guide employees to meet behavior policies and enforce compliance, with the introduction of the Aungate Compliance Guidance and Enforcement Module.
The new module performs real-time conceptual analyses of enterprise information repositories using Autonomy's renowned IDOL-based Implicit Query technology. These analyses are performed on any form of information - including email, instant messages (IM), documents and voice - in order to make granular assessments of whether a user is in danger of violating an external regulation or enterprise policy and a behavioral threshold is about to be reached. The new Aungate module will then automatically launch processes to guide the employee through correct procedures and, depending on enterprise requirements, dynamically point to relevant training material in real-time. Unique to Autonomy, this is a key development for organizations grappling to balance the value and/or risk of an ever-growing amount of unstructured data, while having to set and follow consistent policies and threshold levels to protect the integrity of the business.
Powered by the leading platform for processing unstructured information, Autonomy's Intelligent Data Operating Layer (IDOL), and leveraging Cardiff's Intelligent Document technology, the new module performs a wide spectrum of key functions, including:
Transparency of Content Sources. The system aggregates information from more than 250 repositories in any format, including email, word processing, spreadsheet, audio, video and presentation formats, as well as paper documents. In addition, the system is language independent.
Real-Time Analysis of Information. The system intelligently identifies conceptually- related content within email, IM and voice traffic without having to rely on pre-defined meta-headers, tags or labels to identify meaning. The analysis is performed in real-time without having to access pre-defined rules and across 100% of the available content.
Flags High Risk Content, Identifies Conflicting Behaviors and Triggers Guidance and Compliance Processes Automatically in Real-Time. An enterprise can automatically analyze, evaluate, provide guidance to employees and enforce policies by ensuring that users are alerted to potential content and behavior threshold violations.
Automatically Supports the Design of Processes that Guide and Enforce Compliance. Process design capabilities allow businesses to logically map the flow of virtually any compliance process with little or no coding required. This enables business users to easily define and design processes that involve human and automated tasks, paper and electronic documents, as well as automated notifications and more.
Automatically Creates an Audit Trail. The system automatically re-routes tasks, sends alerts and transparently tracks the status of a process, the time associated with completing each task, and all approvals, reviews and edits. This capability helps to assure auditors, shareholders and regulatory agencies that the proper controls are in place to document and follow processes, and eliminate undocumented exceptions from ever reaching the general ledger.
"This new module addresses a very real and acute problem faced by enterprises today - how to enable employees to access and distribute the data they need to work effectively, while protecting the company from regulatory risks. This issue goes beyond just email monitoring, however. Organizations require a comprehensive method of monitoring all types of information – be it email, IM, phone conversations or basic documents – and systems that understand the nuances and grey areas within that data, and assess how employees are using it in context so as to be able to make granular assessments of its potential risks in real-time," commented Ian Black, managing director, Aungate.
