Enterprise Portal Business

Too many portals rely on human intervention or manual processing, such as tagging, to make applications work. This is not viable, not only in terms of resource costs but also prevents operational scalability required in the New Economy. As the user population and information increases exponentially, any enterprise infrastructure must be entirely automatic. The ability to exploit tacit knowledge is crucial for organizations seeking a competitive edge. It is the essence of genuine knowledge management and the key to innovation and differentiation.

Autonomy's portal solution brings users information pertinent to their tasks regardless of the application they would normally have to use to access that content. It aggregates information from multiple data sources, regardless of format, automatically. On a practical level, this means employees no longer need to waste time categorizing or tagging documents for identification. Nor do they need to complete elaborate questionnaires to identify areas of expertise. On a more strategic level, it means everyone within the organization can immediately share their expertise and insights with their colleagues, whether across the hall or around the world. They can also spend their time analyzing and using information rather than searching for it.

Overall, Autonomy's technology will enable companies to encourage greater communication and productivity, company-wide.
