Autonomy Completes Integration of Idol Into Scrittura

Leader in Financial Services Compliance and Operations Technology Brings Transparency to Capital Markets

CAMBRIDGE, England and SAN FRANCISCO, August 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Autonomy Corporation plc (LSE: AU. or AU.L), a global leader in infrastructure software for the enterprise, today announced that Autonomy Scrittura, the company's flagship product for automating critical trade-related processes, is now powered by Autonomy's Intelligent Data Operating Layer (IDOL). The IDOL integration with Scrittura enables businesses to automatically gain a conceptual understanding of all data related to trade processing activity. As a result, capital markets institutions will benefit from unsurpassed levels of efficiency and transparency, allowing them to meet the increasingly rigorous compliance requirements in the derivatives industry.

"The events of the last year have shed a harsh light on the derivatives industry - clearly a new approach is required to address the new compliance requirements being established by regulatory bodies around the world," said Anthony Bettencourt, CEO of Autonomy Interwoven. "By combining IDOL's unique meaning-based technology with Scrittura's proven trade-processing capabilities, we will arm capital markets institutions with a solution that can keep pace with the dizzying speed and complexity of today's financial markets. We intend to leverage Autonomy's well-established leadership in the financial sector to deliver new levels of transparency and order to this market."

    The new version of Autonomy Scrittura includes new,
    industry-leading capabilities such as:

    - Full content search - Autonomy IDOL Enterprise Search has
      been integrated with Scrittura, enabling search and indexing
      capabilities of trade data as well as over 400 data repositories and
      over 1000 data formats, including audio. IDOL's massive scalability
      allows for searching of an entire repository in milliseconds.

    - Auto matching - The integration of IDOL's intelligent
      document processing with Scrittura enables the auto-matching of
      counterparty documents to trades. Understanding the content of
      documents rather than just the pure text allows reliable matching of
      unstructured content to the trade database.

    - Auto reconciliation - By combining Autonomy KeyView and IDOL
      Server with Scrittura's understanding of trade data, Scrittura can now
      automatically reconcile any data format; e.g. CSV to FpML. IDOL
      automatically learns which terms are the most important and prioritizes
      these for determining the closeness of a match.

    - Archiving - Scrittura now archives data to Autonomy's
      Digital Safe, the world's largest data archive with over 10 petabytes
      of email, documents, and multimedia data. Digital Safe is a hosted
      archive powered by IDOL, which ingests, de-duplicates, indexes and
      extracts metadata from the files.

    - Dashboard views - Scrittura provides a graphical, real-time,
      drillable dashboard of trading information, providing managers and
      senior executives with a view of an organization's trading position.

Autonomy is a recognized leader in providing information governance, eDiscovery, and compliance solutions to the world's largest financial institutions. Customers include Bank of America, Charles Schwab, Deutsche Bank, eBay, Lincoln Financial Group, LPL Financial, MetLife, Morgan Stanley, Societe Generale, and TD AMERITRADE.

Autonomy Scrittura 4.3 is available now.
