BB&D GROUP SELECTS AUTONOMY AS PREFERRED PARTNER FOR PAN-ENTERPRISE SEARCH AND HIGH-END INFORMATION PROCESSING
Leading South African Integrator Expands Autonomy's Presence in the Region
Cambridge, UK and SAN FRANCISCO - September 1, 2009 - Autonomy Corporation plc (LSE: AU. or AU.L), a global leader in infrastructure software for the enterprise, today announced that the Barone, Budge & Dominick (BB&D) Group, a leading South African custom software development company, has selected Autonomy as its preferred partner for pan-enterprise search and high-end information processing. The move will enable BB&D customers to benefit from Autonomy's unique meaning-based technology to maximize the value of their corporate data and leverage traditionally untapped information assets. Autonomy's core infrastructure software, the Intelligent Data Operating Layer (IDOL), derives meaning from all content automatically and in real-time thus transcending traditional information access barriers like never before.
"As the South African market matures, organizations across industries and geographical locations face the same predicament: how to take full advantage of abundant information assets without employing teams of professionals to manually retrieve, tag and classify data," said Richard Kantor, BB&D's Group Marketing Executive. "IDOL's unique conceptual capabilities, scalability and mapped security model coupled with BB&D's expertise will bring true business value to organizations in the region."
By providing a pan-enterprise software infrastructure that automates advanced operations, Autonomy presents customers with a compelling value proposition. IDOL forms a conceptual and contextual understanding of any piece of data, including text, voice and video, regardless of data type or storage location, and performs advanced operations on that information in real-time. Meaning Based Computing technology enables organizations to penetrate their information silos and not only automate a raft of processes and thus cut costs, but also mitigate the risks endemic to the rapid spread of unstructured data.
"Autonomy's IDOL technology goes well beyond legacy approaches which simply bring a piece of information on a screen for a human being to process," said Ian Black, Head of Global Operations. "IDOL's ability to understand the concepts in data and take action upon this understanding is truly unique and is what has allowed Autonomy to excel. We are delighted that the BB&D Group has selected Autonomy as its preferred partner for pan-enterprise search in the region and are looking forward to our future collaborations."
Autonomy and BB&D Group recently showcased Autonomy's unique portfolio at Gartner ITxpo Cape Town.
Autonomy Corporation plc (LSE: AU. or AU.L), a global leader in infrastructure software for the enterprise, spearheads the Meaning Based Computing movement. It was recently ranked by IDC as the clear leader in enterprise search revenues, with market share nearly double that of its nearest competitor. Autonomy's technology allows computers to harness the full richness of human information, forming a conceptual and contextual understanding of any piece of electronic data, including unstructured information, such as text, email, web pages, voice, or video. Autonomy's software powers the full spectrum of mission-critical enterprise applications including pan-enterprise search, customer interaction solutions, information governance, end-to-end eDiscovery, records management, archiving, business process management, web content management, web optimization, rich media management and video and audio analysis.
Autonomy's customer base is comprised of more than 20,000 global companies, law firms and federal agencies including: AOL, BAE Systems, BBC, Bloomberg, Boeing, Citigroup, Coca Cola, Daimler AG, Deutsche Bank, DLA Piper, Ericsson, FedEx, Ford, GlaxoSmithKline, Lloyds TSB, NASA, Nestlé, the New York Stock Exchange, Reuters, Shell, Tesco, T-Mobile, the U.S. Department of Energy, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
