AUTONOMY POWERS VERTICAL SEARCH FOR IT PROFESSIONALS
Foundographytech.com Utilizes IDOL to Provide Highly-Targeted Information to IT professionals and Drive Advertising Revenues
Cambridge, UK and San Francisco, Calif. - July 15, 2008 - Autonomy Corporation plc (LSE: AU. or AU.L), a global leader in infrastructure software for the enterprise today announced that Foundography™, a subsidiary of Nexus Business Media Ltd, has selected Autonomy to power vertical search on its website for IT professionals: foundographytech.com. The site enables business information users to access only the information they want and through Autonomy's unique conceptual capabilities delivers an 'already found' set of results, providing pertinent information users may not have known existed. The site also presents a unique proposition for advertisers, providing conceptually targeted ad selling.
"The huge volume of information on the Web is causing web-blindness and a high level of user frustration - very few people actually find the information they're looking for first time," said Neil Thackray, CEO of Foundography. "We strongly believe that vertical search is the answer and Autonomy's IDOL, with its unique conceptual and contextual abilities, is ideally suited to identify vertical-specific content on the Web, making it more accessible than ever before."
Maintaining superior user-experience is a key factor in driving traffic, maximizing user retention and increasing impression rates. Powered by IDOL, Foundographytech.com, enables users to:
access a constantly updated repository of millions of key IT sources and industry domains
view search results clustered around related themes and find more information of a similar nature
navigate results by areas of interest or specific content type using guided navigation
identify at a glance industry hot topics currently being investigated by fellow Foundography colleagues
In the near future, users will also be able to receive alerts when their favorite content is updated, send collections of articles to colleagues and provide feedback to the system, further improving the user-experience.
Foundography selected IDOL after a competitive procurement primarily due to its ability to provide relevance and meaning. "Autonomy was more robust, more capable and more interesting in terms of enhancing user-experience than the other solutions we evaluated. Following the successful deployment of foundographytech.com, we hope to quickly expand into other verticals. Multimedia content will also be incorporated into the site in the future," continued Thackray.
"We are delighted that Foundography has chosen to embrace IDOL's conceptual capabilities to not only provide users with a new user-experience but also drive revenue," said Mike Lynch, CEO of Autonomy. "We look forward to working with Foundography in the future."
