In today's enterprise environment where most users must typically waste time searching in four or five repositories to arrive at an acceptable results list, Autonomy's extensive set of connectors enables a single point of search for all enterprise information (including rich media), saving organizations much time and money. With access to virtually all content in the enterprise, including Notes, Exchange, Documentum, SharePoint and Oracle, IDOL provides a 360 degree view of the knowledge base to the user.
Additionally Autonomy allows you to develop connectors to any obsolete or bespoke system no longer supported by other vendors, in addition to allowing you to develop connectors for your own future repositories. This ensures that your past investments are safeguarded whilst enabling you to adopt new systems confident in the knowledge that they will be fully supported by Autonomy.
Typically all enterprises will have a unique blend of databases, content management systems and off-the-shelf as well as custom applications. This leads to a wide variety of file formats and data types. Therefore it is not enough for the search technology to simply connect to the repositories through its connectors. Once connected, it must also have the proper filtering technology to extract content from the assortment of files that reside in the repositories.
Autonomy's IDOL and Verity's KeyView each supported hundreds of file formats prior to Autonomy's acquisition of Verity in 2005. The combination of two products has led to the emergence of Autonomy's KeyView IDOL as the definitive market leader in file filtering technology. Autonomy continues to uniquely invest significant R&D to the challenging problem of improving file filtering and transformation.
KeyView IDOL extracts text, metadata and other relevant properties from over 1000 file formats on numerous platforms, leading to complete indexing of the entire enterprise corpus in a single index. Not only does this include all popular word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation formats, rich media files and files embedded within files, such as email attachments or embedded OLE objects, can also be extracted. Filters automatically recognize the file type being filtered and uses the appropriate filter without depending on unreliable filename extensions.
This ability to filter files is critical for any application leveraging unstructured information—a content form that dominates the enterprise landscape. It not only adds business value by expediting the retrieval process, but it also significantly reduces the business risks associated with excess of information. Search is only as good as the places it looks, and if the search engine is not able to index all file types, it is bound to miss many critically relevant documents. This flaw is vitally unacceptable (and costly) in today's litigious environment. Since Autonomy indexes all enterprise content through its extensive set of connectors and filtering technology, its search is uniquely FRCP-compliant.
KeyView IDOL not only extracts text and metadata, but also preserves and intelligently processes all object rules, business intelligence and complex metadata relationships that reside in business applications. KeyView IDOL analyzes relationships between business objects to intelligently propose related actions alongside the result list. Many of these applications, including CRMs, BIs, ERPs and ECMs, entrust KeyView IDOL to manage each of their complex business logic embedded in their systems.
With KeyView IDOL Export, users can make any document widely accessible and usable by converting and delivering it to end-users and applications as Web-ready HTML and/or valid XML.
KeyView IDOL Viewing allows users to instantly view and print files and forgo the tedious installation of propriety software for every respective format.
As Autonomy wholly owns all its software, including connectors, you will always be in the position where you can renew the license no matter what other changes go on in the broader software sector.
Autonomy supports virtually any format, source and language. Every enterprise has a complex mix of off-the-shelf and custom applications, databases, information technologies and file formats. Autonomy is capable of aggregating any form of structured, semi-structured and unstructured data, wherever it is located, regardless of language.
