Autonomy Application Builder™

Comprehensive toolkit for adding Autonomy to your software solutions or customize Autonomy according to your individual needs

Your customers are drowning in unstructured information. Those vast amounts of web pages, documents, e-mails, feeds, etc., can bring even the most powerful software to its knees, unless it is powered by Autonomy. Autonomy's unique technology automatically reads, categorizes, hyperlinks, personalizes large volumes of unstructured data, and delivers personalized highly targeted content automatically. Added to any software or integrated to an E-Business application, it enables solutions that are automated, sophisticated and highly scalable.

The Solution

Autonomy Application Builder™ gives you the speed and performance, scalability, security, language independence, easy integration, and support for any content format, allowing to build and implement powerful and automated E-Business applications.

The Autonomy Application Builder™ is the toolkit that enables you to add Autonomy's unique functionality to your products faster, better, and more efficiently and gain critical competitive advantage. The Autonomy Application Builder™ consists of a series of application programming interfaces (API's) that have been modularized into functional suites, allowing you to plug in only the functionality required for a specific application. Fully compatible with standard web development languages including JAVA, COM, C/C++ and TCL, Autonomy Application Builder™ enables you to add Autonomy functionality without significant re-engineering or training.

All Autonomy solutions and modules are developed using our API, making Autonomy Application Builder™ an extremely powerful and proven toolkit.

Modularized Structure:

Query/Indexing
Agent Query/Indexing
User Agent
User Profiling
Import
Spider
Categorization
Schedule

Many modules support HTTP API - enabling most other script languages, and remote/distributed Intelligent Data Operating Layer servers™ (IDOL servers™).
