Autonomy Unveils Additional Intelligent Legal Connectors for iManage Universal
Search Solution
Extends Out-of-the-Box Connectivity to Critical Legal Applications and
Legal-Specific Research Sites

SAN FRANCISCO - GEARUP 2009 EXECUTIVE BRIEFING ROADSHOW,, April 16
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Autonomy Corporation plc (LSE: AU. or AU.L), a
global leader in infrastructure software for the enterprise, today unveiled
additional new intelligent connectors for its iManage Universal Search (IUS)
solution, the company's pan-enterprise search solution tailored for law
firms. These new intelligent connectors provide out-of-the-box connectivity
to three widely used legal applications, including the LexisNexis InterAction
CRM System, as well as more than 10 legal-specific research sites, such as
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Autonomy IDOL today supports
connectivity to more than 400 content repositories.
In addition to providing a single intuitive search window across
disparate systems, law firms can now leverage the power of Autonomy's Meaning
Based Computing technologies to conceptually and contextually understand the
meaning of information in all of these repositories and 'connect the dots'
among related information through conceptual categorization and automatic
hyperlinking. With all relevant information at their fingertips, customers
can now fully automate a wide range of legal specific business processes.
"By extending access from within the iManage Universal Search solution to
these extremely helpful legal resources, litigation support professionals and
lawyers can now automatically find relevant case law, hyperlink to all other
relevant cases across all research sources and package it up with other
WorkSite materials for presentation to a general counsel," said Anthony
Bettencourt, CEO of Autonomy Interwoven. "Autonomy iManage's unique ability
to understand the concepts in the content, regardless of language and data
formats, including audio and video, makes this very powerful."
The new intelligent connectors allow customers to seamlessly connect to
the following additional legal applications:
- LexisNexis InterAction CRM System - InterAction is a CRM system used by
law firms. It holds important information regarding clients and their
relationships with the firm: who knows whom and information on areas of
knowledge and expertise. As a result of the integration with IUS, the
information stored in the law firm's CRM system can now be linked to
the data in other systems. For example, a lawyer searching for a
particular client can use IUS to not only find the client's details as
they exist in the InterAction system, they can also see related client
information across other systems, such as who are the key internal
contacts, recent documents created, and billing information for the
client. This helps to spotlight the tacit knowledge that exists within
the law firm.

- Practical Law Company's Legal Knowhow Services - PLC is the leading
provider of legal know-how, transactional analysis and market
intelligence for lawyers. With the new connector, a lawyer working on a
brief leveraging specific case law will now be shown all of the
relevant PLC commentaries in a single intuitive search window, thus
improving effectiveness and accuracy.

- Carpe Diem Time and Expense Tracking System - Carpe Diem is a time and
expense tracking software deployed by law firms that holds financial
information about the billing and expenses of lawyers with reference to
clients and matters. This connector not only allows lawyers to mine
their time entries, it also enables the system to 'learn' and find
experts based on their billing activities.

The new intelligent connectors also allow customers to seamlessly search
several legal-specific research sites. These websites are owned by
governmental and private agencies, containing a wealth of research
information related to regulations and trends in specific domains. The
connectivity enables firms to apply the IDOL technology in IUS to index and
process information on these sites, enabling users to not only search these
sites but also perform advanced functions, such as automatically alerting a
user as relevant information on these sites changes. Some of the key sites
include:
- http://www.ftc.gov/ - The U.S. Federal Trade Commission
- http://www.sec.gov/ - The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
- http://thomas.loc.gov/ - The U.S. Library of Congress
