AUTONOMY POWERS PIONEERING NEWS PORTAL

IDOL to Index Up To 15 Million Documents Enabling Knipsel Customers to Benefit from Unprecedented Access to Highly-Targeted Content

CAMBRIDGE, UK and SAN FRANCISCO - March 10, 2009 - Autonomy Corporation plc (LSE: AU. or AU.L), a global leader in infrastructure software for the enterprise today announced that Knipsel Info Service, a leading Dutch clippings and news publishing service company, has selected Autonomy's Meaning Based Computing technology to power its pioneering news portal, www.profactys.nl. The subscription-based portal enables professionals from all career paths to access highly pertinent information, including relevant content they didn't know existed, thus helping them keep their finger on the pulse of information. Autonomy was selected to power the innovative portal, which currently processes 50,000 documents daily, owing to its unrivalled conceptual capabilities, scalability and format and language independence.

"Traditionally, the management of news content has required costly and protracted human intervention owing to the inability of legacy technologies to form an understanding of unstructured information," commented Mark Reisz, CEO of Knipsel Info Service. "Owing to the power of Meaning Based Computing, we can now virtually automate the ingestion, tagging, and retrieval of news content across data types and languages. What is more, Autonomy enables us to go beyond simple search to the processing of human-friendly content automatically and in real-time. This technology is a major leap forward in the IT industry and is at the heart of our business model," elaborated Mark Reisz.

Autonomy's core software infrastructure product, the Intelligent Data Operating Layer (IDOL), can form an understanding from unstructured information such as news articles, blogs, and printed media, and identify patterns between disparate pieces of information to help ensure a first-class user experience. Meaning-based solutions enable forward-thinking organizations like Knipsel Info Service to minimize abandon rates, encourage customer loyalty, and drive traffic-acquisition to ultimately increase revenues and realize genuine ROI. Innovative features such as conceptual search and retrieval, Automatic Hyperlinking, Alerting and Clustering enable Knipsel subscribers to instantly locate sought-after content, browse conceptually similar stories and benefit from tailor-made suggestions to thematically similar content. Capabilities like Autonomy Agents help ensure that users are always kept abreast of new developments in the respective industry or on pre-defined topics of interest.

"With its robust architecture, truly unique pattern-matching capabilities and format independence, Autonomy was the obvious choice for us," concluded Mark Reisz.

"Meaning Based Computing enables organizations to embrace information overload and exploit the business opportunities stemming from it, rather than fall prey to its chaotic nature," commented Victor Cohen, Regional Manager, Autonomy Northern Europe. "We are delighted that Knipsel Info Service has selected Autonomy to power its innovative news portal."

Future plans include the extension of IDOL's conceptual capabilities to Knipsel's constantly growing digital archives, which will be available at www.knipsel.nl, to enable customers to benefit from unprecedented access to broadcast content, automatically and in real-time.
