Autonomy Completes Integration of Idol Into iManage Universal Search

CAMBRIDGE, England and SAN FRANCISCO, March 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
- Customers Benefit from Pin-for-Pin Functionality, an Order of Magnitude
Increase in Performance, and Add-On Connectivity and Functionality
Autonomy Corporation plc (LSE: AU. or AU.L), a global leader in
infrastructure software for the enterprise, today announced that Autonomy's
pan-enterprise search software, the Intelligent Data Operating Layer (IDOL),
now powers iManage Universal Search (IUS). Autonomy iManage's 1,400 law firm
clients will benefit from the same powerful enterprise search solution in use
by more than 17,000 corporate customers, acknowledged by leading industry
analysts as the "clear leader in the enterprise search market." Autonomy
announced the completion of its acquisition of Interwoven on March 17, 2009.
"The rapid integration of iManage Universal Search with Autonomy IDOL is
impressive, and a sign of good things to come from the merger of Autonomy and
Interwoven," said Lorey Arthur Hoffman, CIO of Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld
LLP, an AmLaw 100 firm. "The combination of Interwoven's deep understanding
of the legal market with Autonomy's advanced enterprise search platform is
transformative and will empower our lawyers with advanced capabilities that
will reduce operating costs, improve productivity, and build tighter linkages
with our clients."
Autonomy iManage, the undisputed leader in legal document management with
75% of the Global 100 and 73% of AmLaw 100 law firms as customers, provides a
common platform for law firms and their corporate legal departments. iManage
Universal Search 7.0, now based on IDOL, is a pan-enterprise search solution
tailored for law firms, delivering an order of magnitude increase in
performance over the previous version. This version is pin-for-pin
compatible, and delivers a transparent user experience. The product is
available now at no additional cost to current maintenance customers.
Customers who wish to take advantage of IDOL's breadth of connectivity to
repositories and applications, as well as a myriad of rich functions from the
IDOL platform, can do so for an additional cost. The new add-on capabilities
include access to more than 400 connectors and over 1,000 file types,
including text, audio and video, as well as hundreds of new functions,
including expertise location and automatic taxonomy support. A series of new
Autonomy iManage's modules leveraging the additional capabilities of IDOL
will be released over the coming months.
"To succeed in this new world, law firms and professional services
organizations need to take an entirely new approach, and require a platform
that enables them to bring meaning to all data, regardless of its format or
location," said Anthony Bettencourt, CEO of Autonomy Interwoven. "Autonomy is
the only company that is truly in a position to meet the demands of this new
reality - and is the obvious choice for any organization looking to
standardize on one platform to find, manage, and process large volumes of
information quickly and intuitively."
