AUTONOMY'S HOSTED EDISCOVERY PLATFORM EXTENDS MARKET-LEADING POSITION
Unique Meaning-Based Technology and Unmatched Scalability and Performance Enables Legal Teams to Process More Than Four Million Documents a Month
Cambridge, UK and SAN FRANCISCO – June 15, 2010 – Autonomy Corporation plc (LSE: AU. or AU.L), a global leader in infrastructure software for the enterprise, today announced that the company's hosted eDiscovery platform continues to extend its market-leadership with several major wins around the world, including Huron Consulting Group, Skikos, Crawford, Skikos, Joseph & Millican LLP and Womble Carlyle Sandridge & Rice, PLLC.
With 7,000 servers across seven secure data centers in the U.S. and U.K., Autonomy's hosted eDiscovery platform is a fully outsourced offering that provides data identification, preservation, collection, processing, analysis, review and production capabilities. The platform is powered by Autonomy's Intelligent Data Operating Layer (IDOL), which provides advanced search and analysis capabilities that dramatically improve efficiency in the review and analysis phase, and increase review speeds by more than 300 percent over traditional legacy methods. It generates hard dollar return-on-investments in terms of time and eDiscovery cost savings by more than 50% when compared to other solutions.
With Autonomy hosted eDiscovery, a customer's data is maintained with a single vendor on a single platform, which ensures that the chain of custody remains intact from beginning to end. This dramatically reduces time, cost and risk of spoliation and loss of data. Autonomy's single platform allows for comprehensive and detailed reports to track the data at each step of the process, enabling organizations to demonstrate an auditable and defensible practice in accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP). Autonomy's hosted eDiscovery applies advanced technology including conceptual and contextual analytics, automated clustering and categorization, full language independence, as well as the ability to analyze audio, video, and rich-media natively alongside all of the other documents.
"As a long-standing customer of Autonomy, we have seen the benefits of their hosted eDiscovery platform," said Christopher Getner, managing director in Huron Consulting Group's Legal Consulting segment. "Huron and Autonomy share a deep understanding of the unique requirements of the legal technology market. It is no accident that Huron built its ground-breaking eDiscovery service offering on the technology and systems of Autonomy. Their continued innovation is why we recently expanded our commitment in their platform, and why we view Autonomy as an important long-term partner to Huron and a long-term partner in driving down the costs of eDiscovery for clients."
Autonomy's meaning-based end-to-end hosted eDiscovery platform consists of three modules. They include:
Autonomy Investigator and Early Case Assessment enables legal teams to rapidly pre-review electronically stored information (ESI) and assesses the merits of a case using powerful and user-friendly analytics. Autonomy Investigator allows legal professionals to accurately identify ESI as responsive, non-responsive or privileged, and prioritize that data in hours and days, instead of weeks or months.
Autonomy Introspect is the world's leading processing, review and production platform. Introspect is able to process petabytes of ESI, including more than 100 languages and 1,000 file types, and intelligently filters and culls the data to quickly reduce volume and gain visibility to the information contained within massive data sets. The Introspect processing services team carefully manages the critical processes of batch tagging and exporting the resulting set of documents, de-duplicating and extracting the metadata and preparing documents in a litigation-ready format.
Autonomy Legal Hold provides the ability to manage notifications and to collect data directly to the cloud, a first in the industry to allow organizations to intelligently analyze and pre-cull data in-place with advanced conceptual search capability and then collect the relevant data directly to the cloud. It securely identifies data sources, distributes client software, and preserves and collects a forensically sound copy of relevant information directly to Autonomy's secure cloud-based archive, the Digital Safe.
"Autonomy's end-to-end hosted eDiscovery platform delivers the industry's most scalable, secure and advanced functionalities to global corporations and law firms," said Mike Sullivan, CEO of Autonomy ZANTAZ. "By providing one end-to-end platform that can directly chain together corporate legal departments and their law firms, Autonomy is revolutionizing how corporate legal counsels and law firms work together. The Autonomy offering can dramatically reduce eDiscovery costs and time for corporations, while ensuring corporate compliance."
