BP VIDEO ARCHIVE SELECTS AUTONOMY TO PRESERVE 100 YEARS OF HISTORY
Autonomy To Automate BP Video Library's Digitization Program
Cambridge, UK and San Francisco, Calif. - May 15th, 2007 - Virage, a wholly owned subsidiary of Autonomy Corporation plc (LSE: AU. or AU.L) today announced that it has been selected by BP video library to power the digitization of BP's extensive video library. Virage's VS Archive rich-media management technology is being used to automate the capturing, encoding and indexing of over 11,500 of BP's video tape records dating back to 1915. This footage will initially be made available internally as a source of company information on BP's history, but will eventually become an online digital resource for both internal and external users.
BP has over 3,500 hours of archived footage documenting almost 100 years of global exploration, including events of international significance and the Oscar-winning short film "Giuseppina". This irreplaceable resource was, until recently, held in its original form, left vulnerable to the hazards of physical degradation. By digitizing this content BP will not only ensure its preservation, but will also be able to leverage internal and external value from this previously untapped resource by making footage available to employees and eventually broadcasters and film makers through an internet portal.
"The history of BP is the history of oil. The company has recorded its global operations on film and video for nearly a century and the collection represents a richly evocative resource," commented Steven Croston, commissioning editor of television for BP Group Communications. "By digitizing our footage we are making it easily accessible today and ensuring this valuable resource is preserved for the benefit of future generations."
Dr Mike Lynch, chief executive officer of Autonomy, added "We are honored to be playing a part in this important project. After working with numerous National Archives around the world, we are delighted to know that we are safeguarding another piece of history and ensuring that these glimpses of the past are treasured forever."
