Hundreds of Customers Now Leveraging Modern Web Capabilities of TeamSite, LiveSite, and Virage MediaBin 7.1
CAMBRIDGE, England and SAN FRANCISCO, March 3, 2010-- Autonomy Corporation plc (LSE: AU. or AU.L), a global leader
in infrastructure software for the enterprise, today announced significant
enhancements to the company's flagship line of web content management (WCM)
platform. Powered by Autonomy's Intelligent Data Operating Layer (IDOL),
Autonomy Interwoven TeamSite, LiveSite, and Virage MediaBin include new
capabilities designed to enable a modern, next-generation web experience. To
date, hundreds of customers worldwide - including American Medical
Association, Arkema, BNP Paribas, Fidelity International, and Loma Linda
University Medical Center - are leveraging the new release of TeamSite,
LiveSite, and Virage MediaBin to deliver an intelligent and engaging global
web presence.
"Autonomy Interwoven's web content management platform plays a
vital role in allowing us to provide a contextually rich and engaging
customer experience," said Nick Abruzzo, Vice President of Interactive
Marketing at American Medical Association. "We are leveraging Autonomy
Interwoven's WCM solution and IDOL site search engine to create a world-class
web presence. The web solution was chosen by IT and marketing because of its
ability to meet our needs today - and for years to come."
Autonomy Interwoven - the Platform for the Modern Web
Autonomy Interwoven's web content management platform contains
all the elements required to deliver a modern, next-generation web
experience, including new capabilities to support global deployments,
leverage rich media, and deliver highly targeted and optimized content. The
new platform includes the following innovations:
Rapidly Rollout a Global Web Presence
- Global Web Presence - the new version of TeamSite provides
dependency management, automatic language detection, and clustering of
conceptually related content. This means new content will always be
accurately and consistently represented in each region.
- Allow Marketers to Create Websites Faster - the new WCM
platform provides marketers with new surf-and-edit capabilities like
keyword shortcuts, fixed area layout and in-line editing for
unsurpassed usability. Additionally, the platform provides seamless
integration with Microsoft Office, such as Outlook for task-based
approval and alerts.
- Streamlined Installation - the platform also provides
streamlined installation and administration capabilities through a
consolidated administration console.
Automatically Deliver Targeted, Dynamic Content to Any Channel
- Agnostic Dynamic Content Delivery - LiveSite delivers
industry-first agnostic content delivery capabilities which allow
marketers to dynamically display content to any display environment,
including portal, Flash, AJAX, and .NET. This is a huge benefit to
today's global organizations, which manage distributed IT environments,
and struggle to deliver relevant, dynamic content to portals, ecommerce
sites, and mobile applications.
- Dynamic Targeting - the platform provides the full spectrum
of implicit and explicit targeting capabilities across all channels,
including web, contact center, and social media. Unlike other marketing
technologies, Autonomy automatically tags and forms a conceptual
understanding of all content, inside and outside a corporation. This
underlying capability allows businesses to instantly deliver more
relevant, targeted content to customers.
- Integrated Ecommerce - the WCM platform provides out-of-the
box capabilities for intelligent recommendations, directed navigation,
merchandising, and advanced search marketing.
- Integrated WCM and Optimization - Autonomy Interwoven is the
only platform that combines WCM and Multivariate Testing in a single
interface. Announced in Q2 of 2009, this combination allows marketers
to quickly make adjustments that lead to proven increases in online
conversions.
Create a Visually Stunning Web Presence
- Intelligent Use of Rich Media Content - the platform
leverages Autonomy Virage MediaBin rich media analytics to obtain a
conceptual understanding of all images or videos, regardless of format
or language. The system automatically tags all content and presents
digital assets through a new rich media interface, allowing marketers
and agency partners to more quickly and easily find and present the
right image, every time.
- Ease-of-Use Enhancements - Virage MediaBin also includes a
new lightweight, browser-based graphics file editor that allows
marketers to edit, resize, crop, and adjust brightness and color of
logos and other images directly on a web page.
Benefit from a Powerful, Meaning-Based Architecture
- Autonomy Interwoven is the industry's only marketing
platform that combines a meaning-based architecture - based on IDOL ?
with world-class web content solutions. As a result, Autonomy
Interwoven is uniquely positioned to deliver a comprehensive marketing
platform that enables businesses to automatically gain insight on all
forms of information, act on new opportunities as they emerge, and
continually optimize these interactions to maximize results.
- With IDOL as the underlying architecture, customers benefit
from world-class reliability, scalability, and high-performance,
capable of evolving as their IT environment and overall web presence
becomes more complex.
"As the global economy shifts towards an upturn, marketers
have a tremendous opportunity to deepen customer engagement to drive their
business," said Rafiq Mohammadi, CEO of Autonomy Interwoven. "Autonomy
Interwoven is the only company that provides a platform to allow businesses
to truly understand their customers, act on these insights, and continually

positive market adoption of TeamSite, LiveSite, and Virage MediaBin 7.1, and
