Autonomy's Comprehensive Suite of Records Management Solutions Receives U.S.
Department of Defense 5015.2 Records Management Certification

CAMBRIDGE, England and SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Autonomy Corporation plc (LSE: AU. or AU.L), a global leader in infrastructure
software for the enterprise, today announced that its comprehensive suite of
records management solutions has received the U.S. Department of Defense's
(DoD) Standard for Records Management (DoD5015.2) certification. This
certification verifies Autonomy's ability to control the creation,
declaration, classification, retention, legal holds, transfers, and
disposition of electronic and non-electronic records. In addition, this
certification recognizes that Autonomy's Records Management solutions fully
meet the stringent requirements of managing records in a classified
environment where security and access are critical.

The United States Department of Defense Records Management Program DoD 5015.2
provides implementation and procedural guidance on the management of records
in the Department of Defense. This Standard sets forth mandatory requirements
for Records Management Application (RMA) software used by DoD Components in
the implementation of their records management programs. It also defines
required system interfaces and search criteria to be supported by the RMAs and
describes the records management requirements that must be met, based on
current National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) regulations. The
DoD standard is widely adopted outside the Defense industry in both commercial
and government markets as defining best practices in Electronic Records
Management.

"Many organizations are swamped with electronic information, which often times
is neither properly filed nor securely managed. More importantly, these
information assets are often locked inside end-users' desktops and
departmental file systems, embedded in collaboration and email systems and
integrated into business processes, creating a significant challenge for
information governance and eDiscovery," said Neil Araujo, CEO of Autonomy
iManage. "Autonomy's comprehensive suite of records management solutions is
uniquely positioned to automate information governance and the retention and
disposition of records by understanding the meaning of all information
regardless of data type, language or repository through the power of IDOL. We
are pleased our market leading offering has again passed the DoD's rigorous
5015.2 testing and certification process."

Autonomy Records Management delivers a transparent records management solution
that addresses the broad and varying needs of enterprises. Autonomy offers
organizations the only records management solution that bridges both the
physical and electronic records environment, leveraging IDOL as a common
platform. The Autonomy solution can apply policy consistently to every
information source in the enterprise simultaneously, while managing content in
place and reducing duplicates across all enterprise repositories. With over
one million users across the globe, Autonomy Records Management has customers
in every market.

Autonomy has also been awarded the U.S. Federal Government SmartBuy contract
for Electronic Document and Records Management software, enabling e-government
and helping to meet the goals of the President's Management Agenda - a
strategy designed to improve the management of the federal agencies. The
Autonomy solutions have also received additional military grade security and
certifications, including UK TNA2002, Australia's VERS and ISO 15489.
