Autonomy Corporation plc, a provider of infrastructure software for the enterprise, has announced an OEM agreement with VERITAS, Inc., a storage software provider. VERITAS Software has embedded Autonomy's technology into the new VERITAS Data Lifecycle Manager 5.0 software. Autonomy's pattern-recognition software is expected to enable VERITAS customers to perform advanced concept-based retrieval on emails and attachments in a variety of formats, including Word, Excel, PDF, and HTML files. Autonomy's technology is based on a conceptual understanding, rather than a keyword match and is designed to recognize patterns of words over time.

Autonomy's Intelligent Data Operating Layer (IDOL) is designed to integrate unstructured, semi-structured, and structured information from multiple repositories through an understanding of their content. The Autonomy software processes text, voice, and video, then identifies and ranks the main concepts within them. It then categorizes, links, summarizes, personalizes, and delivers that information. Autonomy's infrastructure technology is used to automate operations within enterprise information portals, customer relationship management, knowledge management, business intelligence, and ebusiness applications, among others.

Autonomy Corporation plc is a provider of infrastructure software for the enterprise. Autonomy's technology powers applications dependent upon unstructured information including call center, customer relationship management, knowledge management, enterprise portals, enterprise resource planning, online publishing, and security applications. In addition to Autonomy's core infrastructure products, the Autonomy group of companies includes Aungate, a supplier of electronic communications management for regulatory compliance in the enterprise, Audentify, a supplier of contact center technology and Virage, a provider of rich media communication and content management software.
