LCM - Legacy Compatibility

Autonomy's Legacy Compatibility Module - LCM, provides a fast track from manually intensive legacy keyword systems to a fully automated Autonomy infrastructure (Intelligent Data Operating Layer - IDOL) that puts information into context and helps organizations tackle the challenges of gaining competitive advantage.

"Autonomy's technology acts as an intelligent operating system, underpinning every application where there is a need to understand unstructured information." - [Knowledge Management Magazine, March 2001]

Ten years ago, manual legacy systems, such as search engines, were viewed as the solution to the problem of finding information and were implemented within a large number of businesses. Although legacy systems are often still employed, they use very inaccurate processes, lack contextual understanding and rely on significant manual support to set-up and maintain. Such systems demonstrate very little value to users and are costly to scale when addressing either the growth of user population or the explosion of unstructured information.

Due to globalization and the on-going explosion of digital economy processes and devices, every organization today is under immense pressure to redefine their competitive advantage strategy. The efficient management of information is directly linked to the bottom line, affecting corporations in a knowledge management environment to online publishers offering content or even contact centers providing services to end users.

With the advent of LCM, organizations now have the ability to evolve their business and utilize the real power of information to drive their business forwards:

Discover the real value of information through contextual understanding
Eliminate the manual effort typically required to find information
Automate the delivery of highly accurate information pertinent to user-interest
Reduce the cost of decommissioning and replacing old technologies
Enrich the value of legacy systems with Autonomy's feature-rich infrastructure
Evolve the business with a high performance and future proof scalable solution

Legacy Displacement

Autonomy provides legacy compatibility that enables organizations to deploy IDOL, displacing existing legacy systems, while maintaining existing system workflow. Once this minimally disruptive process has been completed, organizations are able to activate the advanced functionality that IDOL offers progressively, enabling a controlled and managed migration of technology with no loss of service to current applications.
