Company Profile

Autonomy was founded upon a vision to dramatically change the way in which we interact with information and computers, ensuring that computers map to our world, rather than the other way round.

Human-friendly or unstructured information is not naturally found in the rows and columns of a database, but in documents, presentations, videos, phone conversations, emails and IMs. We are facing an increasing deluge of unstructured information, with 80% now falling into this category and, according to Gartner, the volume of this data doubling every month. As the amount of unstructured information multiplies, the challenge for the modern enterprise is trying to understand and extract the value that lies within this vast sea of data.

Many companies believe that access to information is the answer to dealing with the unstoppable spread of information of all forms – if people can find information, they can process it themselves. Autonomy believes that although access to information is important, there is far greater value in forming an understanding of data and automatically processing it, freeing up people to focus on higher-value activities that computers are unable to do.

Autonomy's software powers the full spectrum of mission-critical enterprise applications including pan-enterprise search, proactive Information Risk Management, information governance, eDiscovery, consolidated archiving, call center solutions, rich media management, security applications, Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Knowledge Management (KM) and BPM. Autonomy addresses the challenges of information within any vertical market or application.

Products and Services

Autonomy maintains an open philosophy with regards to the techniques it uses and is dedicated to selecting methods which optimize its technology, whether they are old or new. Accordingly, Autonomy embraces traditional or legacy methods such as keyword, Boolean, parametric and others. However, it is perhaps best known for its pioneering work in conceptual search based on computational pattern recognition (non-linear adaptive digital signal processing) and contextual linguistic analysis.

Built upon the seminal mathematical works of Thomas Bayes and Claude Shannon, and on a range of innovations that are covered by 140 patents, Autonomy technology identifies the patterns that naturally occur in text, voice or video files based on the usage and frequency of terms that correspond to specific concepts. By studying the preponderance of one pattern over another, Autonomy's technology understands that there is X% probability that the content in question deals with a specific subject. In this way, Autonomy extracts the content's digital essence, encodes the unique "signature" of the concepts, and enables a host of operations to be automatically performed on emails, phone conversations, video, documents and even people's interests.
